Headline: UNCAPTIONED: 'Quiet Quitting' Could Be Hitting UK Economy, Report Finds
Caption: 'Quiet Quitting' Could Be Hitting UK Economy, Report Finds. The trend known as "quiet quitting" could be contributing to Britain's productivity problems, according to new analysis. A Resolution Foundation report found UK workers have become less engaged with their jobs over the past decade and increasingly reluctant to put in extra effort. The thinktank said the trend could partly explain weak productivity since the pandemic, potentially affecting economic growth and living standards. ”Quiet quitting" became popular on social media after the pandemic and describes employees meeting the basic requirements of their jobs without taking on additional work. The trend has been linked to concerns about high workloads, low pay and work-life balance, with some workers adopting the phrase "acting your wage”. Resolution Foundation economist Hannah Slaughter said declining engagement was bad for workers and could also affect productivity and labour supply.
