Move Over Quiet Quitting, ‘Loud Quitting’ Is Taking Centre Stage
Around this time last year, I wrote a piece in response to the rising trends of ‘quiet quitting’, ‘quiet firing’, and ‘quiet hiring’ that begged the question: why are we being so quiet? Why are these issues not being spoken about loudly? In that context, the ‘loud quitting’ phenomenon we are seeing now has been […]

If their salary was good, and their performance was methodically rewarded, then this tended to spark contentment in the general worker. However, […]

Gen Z are flooding into the workplace, and with this assimilation they bring to light conversations around work-life balance, environmentalism, and the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). And it is no wonder we’re seeing the latter take place; a recent study discovered that 36% of students and graduates identify as LGBTQ+. And yet, […]
