Stefan Beutelsbacher discusses the ins and outs of quiet quitting.
« Many young Americans do only the bare minimum on the job. This is called « quiet quitting, » and many call it a silent resignation. Others see it as a new Generation Z quirk, an excuse to go to yoga early. What’s really behind it? »
Stefan Beutelsbacher, US-Correspondent, researched the Quiet Quitting conversation and spoke with Koen Blanquqart on his views on this phenomenon. The article is behind the paywall of Welt (in German).
Blanquart runs a management consulting firm in New York and is considered an expert on the post-Corona work environment.
