At Work with The Ready

145. Shhh....We're Talking About Quiet Quitting


Listen Later

Odds are you’ve discussed quiet quitting with your colleagues, your friends, your barista, your aunt Barbara… you get the idea. Super-hyped-up conversations about quiet quitting are everywhere these days—but what’s the noise really about? What’s the alleged trend mean or point toward? And if we double-click on quiet quitting, what can we learn about the OS of our workplaces?

In this episode on Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans turn up the volume on this phenomenon and talk about:

  • What these conversations tell us about our ways of working and what needs to change
  • How to start caring more about outputs and commitments and less about timesheets
  • Why the common belief that “good performance = beating expectations” is trash
  • How a lack of clarity stokes both the quiet quitting and quit firing fires
  • Why we need better workflows around asking workers what they really need

  • Our book is available now at bravenewwork.com
