I read an article recently which I found really interesting. There has been a lot of talk about the great resignation after the pandemic; where people who are able to, have either changed jobs or simply resigned and not taken up another. No doubt it is one contributing factor to staff shortages in many locations.
But the article was talking about the next wave after the great resignations; the "silent resignation" wave. Not everyone is willing or able to leave their current job and find another. Many of those people are apparently shifting their working mindset and simply doing the bare minimum work needed to keep their job and nothing more. They don't go above and beyond and no longer do anything other than what is directly asked or contractually obliged of them. I've noticed a bit of this at my place as people have become burnt out and disillusioned over the last few hectic years. Some of them are stepping back and just keeping their heads down now. Asking friends and family they seem to have witnessed similar from some people at their workplaces. So this may well be a thing.
Has anyone else noticed this?
