    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Quiet quitting. The "I am fed up with so much idiocy at work.Let me do the minimum and vegetate, let me be payed for that, as at the end I am payed for what I as contracted to". It sounds reasonable isnt it? And it is true in many places where company culture is not really rewarding for a worker, where only profit is important, and where no possibility of change, more income or opportunities happen. This is not new, indeed. It was happening before COVID, but with it a big reflection on the nature of work in our economic system just exploded. Those who were able to stay at home and do digital work fond suddenly they could work and be with their families. Those who return to factories and offices find that they don't have time to live. It's a difficult situation. Moreover, according to this podcast, women and minorities are the most affected by the phenomenon of quiet quitting. Not good at all. What to do then? First of all, avoid the negativity. If the companies and factories don't change their models of work, they wont be able to prosper in the near future.

    So let's work to change the perspectives of leaders on work's culture, where the workers are part of the capital of the company, and not just some people who should be grateful to work. Take care of their well being and mental health in a mature way, as this clearly improves the work atmosphere and the productivity (conducive to more profit too). Make the work as exciting as it can be (remember in our digital revolution very soon those repetitive works will be left to robots), and put clear boundaries around work and out of work life. This is one of the ways to improve this. There are more. Workers should be careful with these changes too when the whole work economy is going to radically change with introduction of robots, computing, AIs and other techs which will leave many without work unless they work on getting different skills. The hustle is real. A complicated issue indeed which will need some time to be solved or at least more defined, more clear.
