  + stars: | 2023-01-29 | by ( Rebecca Knight | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
There's a middle ground between quiet quitting and burning yourself out: it's called "enoughness." But not so much that it controls your life and you don't have energy for yourself. According to Robert Kelley, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business, there's a word for what many of us are seeking: "enoughness." We don't want to slack off, or even quiet quit, but we're less willing to make our jobs our top concern. "Very few people get recharged from their work," Kelley said.

"A solid day of work has about 2-3 hours of real productive focus," one user wrote. A viral TikTok explaining the "real work flex" to strategically pass time while doing little work prompted others to make their own videos giving a play-by-play of their days at the office before COVID-19 caused a boom in remote work. "They won't tell you this, but the real work flex isn't grinding for 80 hours a week. The real work flex is time theft," TikToker Daniel Ezra said in the video.

☆ Most Americans just aren't into their jobs, new Gallup data shows
  + stars: | 2023-01-26 | by ( Julianne Mcshane | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +5 min
As Americans enter the third year of the pandemic, most workers just aren't into their jobs, with nearly three-fourths saying they're either not engaged or actively disengaged at work, according to new Gallup data released Wednesday. Only 32% of American workers said they were engaged at work last year, down from an all-time high of 36% in 2020 and 34% in 2021, the data shows. Workers who are actively disengaged "are disgruntled and disloyal because most of their workplace needs are unmet," according to Gallup. Both women and younger workers value freedom and autonomy in the workplace, Harter said. Hybrid workers saw 2% increases in both active disengagement and "quiet quitting," and a 4% drop in engagement.

  + stars: | 2023-01-21 | by ( Madison Hoff | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
"I think that in some ways quiet quitting is the natural sequel to the Great Resignation," professor Adam Grant said. But so has been the Great Resignation, which has seen a massive number of workers actually leaving their jobs. James Detert, a professor of business administration at the University of Virginia, detailed in a post on The Conversation how the Great Resignation, quiet quitting, and unionization efforts at big companies are actually similar. As noted during the panel and seen in previous coverage from Insider, "quiet quitting" isn't actually a new thing. The Great Resignation, and thus its "sequel" of quiet quitting, may continue in 2023 and be sticking around.

  + stars: | 2023-01-17 | by ( Rebecca Knight | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
My editor asked me to see whether ChatGPT, an AI chatbot, could write a decent resignation letter. But I hadn't expected that the personalized resignation letter would prompt self-reflection. What I didn't expect was that the effect of seeing ChatGPT's personalized resignation letter in black and white would be so jarring. My request was straightforward and so was the reply:Can you write me a resignation letter for my job as Senior Correspondent at Insider? If you change your mind and decide that you do not want to resign, you can try to retract your resignation letter.

"If you're acting your wage, that means that the amount of labor that you're putting in reflects the amount that you're getting paid.

But for now, LinkedIn's analysis of short tenure rates using its own data show white-collar workers are among the workers quick quitting. Salemi said she's "cautious" though about people quickly quitting though because "it shouldn't necessarily be spontaneous."

Now, it is estimated that quiet quitters make up 50% of the US workforce.

The Atlanta Fed's Wage Growth Tracker shows wage growth for job switchers has slowed. However, wage growth is still stronger for job switchers than job stayers.

“Friends” star Matthew Perry startled many of his fans by announcing that he had been to drug rehab 15 times and spent some $9 million on getting into recovery. And if you’ve tried to beat an addiction 14 times, does a 15th try really make sense? From left, Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, and Matthew Perry in a scene from "Friends". If recovery attempts involve seeking professionally provided addiction treatment, especially those delivered in high-end residential programs, repeated attempts can be financially ruinous. Some other good news: Because of federal legal reforms enacted over the past 15 years, health insurance is much more likely today to pay for some or all of addiction treatment.

It can be head-spinning to keep up with the sudden trends taking hold in the workplace: Workers are "quiet quitting."

And that's how companies end up hiring consultants who charge $10,000 to $15,000 a day to "help with quiet quitting." But in reality, the workplace-industrial complex exists as a self-propelling public-relations engine for the worst impulses of the management set. Simple answers, difficult solutionsWhat's both confusing and annoying about the state of the workplace-industrial complex is that it's helpful to no one.

The job market is slowly shifting back in favor of employers, labor experts told Insider. During an economic downturn, workers may not be able to get away with just doing the bare minimum.

In the battle against “quiet quitting” and other obstacles to productivity in the workplace, companies are increasingly turning to an array of sophisticated tools to watch and analyze how employees do their jobs. The sobering news for America’s bosses: These technologies can fall short of their promises, and even be counterproductive. Patchy evidence for the effectiveness of workplace monitoring tech hasn’t stopped it from sweeping through U.S. companies over the past 2½ years. Since the start of the pandemic, one in three medium-to-large U.S. companies has adopted some kind of worker surveillance system, and the total fraction using such systems is now two in three, says Brian Kropp , vice president of HR research at Gartner . While there is a broad spectrum of how these systems work and what data they gather, many of them include constant monitoring of nearly everything workers do on their devices.
