  + stars: | 2022-10-13 | by ( Jordan Parker Erb | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
But some platforms are trying to detoxify social media. Twitter; Mastodon; Vicky Leta/Insider1. One pioneering platform is working to detoxify social media. Once championed as heralds of a more interconnected world, social media has instead contributed to loneliness, low self-esteem, and the proliferation of harmful disinformation, Evan Malmgren writes. With 4.4 million users, Mastodon looks like Twitter, but rather than a single website, it's an open-source software platform that allows users to run self-hosted, "federated" social networks.
☆ 'Quiet quitters' coasting through work could be a prime target for layoffs as recession fears loom, labor experts say
  + stars: | 2022-10-12 | by ( Hannah Towey | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
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. That means "quiet quitters" could be the first to be laid off during a recession, experts say. And in the same survey, nearly nine out of 10 managers (87%) said they would "likely" have to lay off employees during a recession. So it's not necessarily whether you're quiet quitting or not.

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.

Many of us felt a kinship as we discussed quiet quitting. But quiet quitting isn't a new phenomenon, particularly for workers from marginalized backgrounds. In fact, diversity advocates say the idea of quiet quitting is gaining momentum in part because white workers are making noise about it. Navigating the boundaries of quiet quitting and what could be deemed as not doing their jobs can be trickier for them.

She says that quiet quitting isn't a new phenomenon but it can be very harmful to company culture and morale. One of the best ways to fight quiet quitting is to focus on your "star players" instead, she says. What is new, however, is the not-so-quiet part of quiet quitting: quiet quitters are increasingly announcing their status proudly on social media, thanks largely to a TikTok video on the subject that went viral. Now, it is estimated that quiet quitters make up 50% of the US workforce. Don't "quiet fire"It's tempting to fight fire with fire — or silence, in this case, with withdrawing — but try to resist that.
☆ Is your boss 'quiet firing' you?

So what is quiet firing? Quiet firing is when an employer does the bare minimum to keep their employees: no support, no development, no growth, no rewards. Women, and especially women of color, are particularly susceptible to quiet firing. Lots of workers have been 'quiet fired'When faced with quiet firing, some employees get fed up and exit on their own. A few weeks ago, I wrote a LinkedIn post on quiet firing that quickly went viral.
☆ People are 'quiet quitting,' but their work isn't disappearing. Here's how to handle this tricky situation if you're feeling overworked.

If you're among the professionals who are still checked in, you may feel obligated to pick up projects, or you may be assigned extra work. If you're feeling the burden of extra work, you should speak up. Joyce said that conversation taught her that your manager doesn't always "know what your workload looks like day to day — they just know you're getting your job done." Jacinta Jiménez, a psychologist and speaker who wrote the book "The Burnout Fix," said the "quiet" in quiet quitting "already suggests that you're not going to communicate while you're stepping back." Some of your colleagues might be willing to take on extra work, especially if it will help their career prospects, as long as you ask them ahead of time.
☆ Quiet quitters now make up half the U.S. workforce

At least half of all U.S. workers now do the bare minimum of what's required from them at their jobs, according to a new survey from Gallup. Industry watchers and workforce experts have adopted the term "quiet quitting" to describe such workers: people who have chosen to reject the hustle culture that has dominated conversations around work and career for decades. While quiet quitting is sometimes defined as simply enforcing boundaries between work life and personal life, the Gallup survey paints a different picture. "Many quiet quitters fit Gallup’s definition of being 'not engaged' at work — people who do the minimum required and are psychologically detached from their job," Harter wrote. Most employees who are actively disengaged or are not engaged are already looking for other jobs, Harter said.
☆ A Nation of Quitters

The unemployment rate was 3.5% in July, the same as in February 2020, but the U.S. has three million fewer workers. Now a McKinsey study suggests that 40% of workers are thinking of quitting their jobs. Everyone has an explanation for the Great Resignation: extended unemployment benefits, eviction moratoriums, baby boomers retiring, work-from-home complacency, anxiety, long Covid. Here’s my theory: Too many got a taste of not working and liked it. Parisians called those with unconventional lifestyles “bohemians.” Now we have unemployed, perpetually plugged-in, dopamine-addled Cyber Bohemians—let’s call them Cy-Bos.
