This week on Basic Black, we discuss how quiet quitting impacts communities of color. Several surveys confirm millions of American workers are quiet quitters. A hot topic of interest as many people are returning to the office, for some employees that feel undervalued and underpaid are adopting this quiet quitting mindset of disengagement and dissatisfaction while remaining on payroll. However, not everybody can afford pulling back from the job, for workers of color that already feel they face mistreatment and inequities in the workplace, including bias performance reviews, lack of feedback from managers, and being tasked with undesirable projects. 

Panelists:

Melissa James, Chief Growth Officer at IBIS Consulting Group 

Lauren Hunter-Dyson, Chief People and Diversity Officer for the New England Aquarium

Malia Lazu, founder and CEO of The Lazu Group and lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management.
