He speculated a lot of men burned out at work because of a fear of seeking help. Garfield's move was similar to the "quiet quitting" phenomenon sweeping the workforce, in which employees do the work they're paid for and no more. For these men, jobs aren't just a source of income; they're a source of social status, Wu found, something that's especially true for white men and younger men. "I think too many men don't want to say they are overloaded or have too much on their plate," Garfield said. "I think men have bigger egos and don't want to look weak, and unfortunately, companies use this to their advantage."
Working-age men without degrees are exiting the workforce because it isn't helping their social status. For these men, jobs aren't just a source of income; they're a source of social status. That's especially true for white men, Wu writes, and younger men, who see a job with limited pay growth — which they believe could affect their marriage prospects and social status — as worse than no job. Why men without college degrees are leaving the workforce to save their social status, and what they can do insteadWu said marriage market anxiety for younger male workers is likely the prime reason for leaving the workforce when their social status declines. Studies show that stress and low-self-esteem linked to lower social status contribute to worse health and early death.
