I read online today about something called "Quiet Quitting," where millions of Gen Z employees are doing the bare minimum on their jobs without officially quitting.

The Quiet Quitting trend has become quite big on Tik Tok, as young people (Gen Z represents those born in 1989 or later) have rejected the hustle culture embraced by their parents.

There are a few reasons for the Quiet Quitting phenomenon, part of which is that the pandemic blurred the lines between work and life and is leading many to reflect on whether or not it makes sense to spend more time with your boss than you spend with your own family.

I get it. I actually felt this way 29 years ago when I finished college. The thing was that I was seen as an oddball for questioning the way we work. I never thought it made more sense for a mother to be at a factory than with her child. I never felt that as a father, I'd rather be with my boss than my wife.

I'm glad that the rest of the world is getting it. I have a few thoughts on the topic that I am sharing on The Black Financial Channel, you can hear those ideas here.
