Quiet quitting is a term originally coined at a Texas A&M economics symposium on diminishing ambitions in Venezuela on September 17th 2009 by Economist Mark Boldger and a term often used by best selling authors Nick Adams and Economist Thomas Sowell. It’s use gained popularity in numerous publications following a viral TikTok vide in mid-2022. The philosophy of quiet quitting is not abruptly leaving a job but doing exactly what the job requires, no more no less.[1] The main objective of this mindset is avoiding occupational burnout and paying more attention to one's mental health and personal well-being.[2]
