A new Gallup poll shows that half of US workers say they are quiet quitting, a phenomenon in which employees do the bare minimum at work. The key term here is employee engagement which measures involvement at work and enthusiasm employees have about work. Since 2021, employee engagement has fallen as workers feel unfulfilled with their jobs and are now being asked to return to the office. Ray Smith, reporter on the Careers Team at the Wall Street Journal, joins Oscar Ramirez for more on quiet quitting.

 

Next, did you know there is a secret world of private gigs?  These have always been around, but now music stars are getting paid millions to play private weddings and parties.  The key here, is secrecy. Attendees usually sign NDAs to protect all parties involved from criticism of inequality of wealth and how much is being paid for these acts.  Experts say that this trend will continue, moving beyond acts hired for nostalgia to pop stars.  David Browne, senior writer at Rolling Stone, joins Oscar Ramirez for more.
