A recent study suggested that there are more quiet quitters in Singapore than the global average

SINGAPORE: Quiet quitting is when employees stop trying to go over and beyond in their efforts and initiative in the workplace. .

After an online user took to an online Singaporean news forum to share a report of the said survey on Tuesday , many netizens gave their two cents on the matter, with several even sharing their personal experiences in the workplace.“Quiet quitting is a stupid corporate made-up word to shame people who just do their job and [leave],” said one.

Another didn’t see a problem with deciding to stop going above and beyond, arguing, “ nothing wrong with quiet quitting…the term sounds bad, but actually it’s just doing your job. You order cai png, ask for extra rice, extra meat, extra veg, no need to pay more? Quiet quitting should be normalised and not treated with stigma.”Image: Reddit Singapore screengrab / @risingsuncocImage: Reddit Singapore screengrab / @risingsuncocA third took a stronger stand, saying, “The term is stupid.

Another shared a personal experience, saying, “I did my job. I went above and beyond and for what? still got retrenched anyway when I wasn’t needed or when bosses started playing political games.”Image: Reddit Singapore screengrab / @risingsuncocStill, one commenter went so far as to question, “Companies want competent employees, yet our wages still can’t keep up with the cost of living here.
