SINGAPORE - When she found out that her peers were earning “a lot more money” than her despite both parties doing the same amount of work, Nancy opted for something many working adults in Singapore have done – she quiet quit.
When questioned, her superior said it was because she was “just a diploma holder” while her peers were degree holders. Nancy is now taking night classes to earn a degree just for the sake of a salary increment. Among those who indicated they had quiet quit, 41 per cent said they have done so to improve work-life balance, while 38 per cent said it was because of the low compensation and rising cost of living. About 33 per cent cited a lack of career growth opportunities for quiet quitting.
This made him “absolutely furious” as he felt he was being “severely undercut”. He has been performing at a minimal level at work since then and doing less than his counterparts in the same position.“It usually is a gradual process. Employers should be mindful of employees, understand their expectations and address them in order to prevent quiet quitting among them,” she suggested.
According to Counseling Perspective psychotherapist and coach Grace Loh, cultivating relationships with like-minded and supportive colleagues can enhance job satisfaction and create a sense of belonging. These, in turn, can dissuade one from quiet quitting.
