The Quiet Quitting Issue: Understanding People Vol. 007

 

"Quiet quitting" has been all over the internet lately. For those who haven't seen it yet, here's how an article by NPR described it:

 

 "Quiet quitting doesn't actually involve quitting. Instead, it has been deemed a response to hustle culture and burnout; employees are "quitting" going above and beyond and declining to do tasks they are not being paid for."

 

[Speaking of hustle culture...if you didn't catch iet, the Anti-Hustle Issue can be read here.

 

There's a lot of interesting discussion going around, but you you won't find any of those articles here. What you find is a fun twist on the idea with the Quietly Quitting: Enneagram Edition.

P.S. This past week, I attended a forest bathing event at the Cincinnati Nature Center with the women's group, Power to Pursue, lead by a recent podcast guest (ep 73) Pam Cho. It was truly magical and so calming. Below are a couple of photos from the event and you can check out more over on Instagram if you'd like.
