Right. I expect in some circles, "quiet quitter" will become a minor slur for anyone not devoting themselves heart and soul to their job.
There is a massive spectrum between "checked out" (which is what I understood quiet quitter to be a rebranding of), and "it's just a job" where you do what's expected but leave it there. The latter is perfectly ok in most cases.
> Managers need to create accountability for individual performance, team collaboration and customer value
I think the solution is completely wrong. I think the most accountability for individual performance has sales. Number of calls, leads, sold units, etc. Often this is also the department with the most fluctuation and where people get burned out the most. Also a meeting to talk to your manager is heavily artificial. Usually that should happen as part of the work itself.
I would leave my job immediately if I get a score for team collaboration. What does that even mean? Just look at the boomer generation and what they have done to jobs in logistics, sales and call centers. And this is the alleged solution? I would say this is the reason why people are quitting in the first place.
Accountability means responsibility and that comes with a cost too. Some companies have that down and they look for long-term employees.
This also begins with a non-infantilizing description of work. It isn't always pleasant, people need to earn their keep. It is certainly not a wellness trip but there are mechanism that can mitigate these facts and can make work vastly more pleasant.
Although the graph says that the situation is almost unchanged from a state 10 years ago.
