Your employer may be quiet quitting on you
An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. It often indicates a user profile.Over the past three years, the American workplace has undergone all kinds of changes as a result of the work-from-home revolution. Perhaps the most widely discussed has been the way the remote age has prompted workers to emotionally detach from their jobs. Some bemoaned it as quiet quitting; others celebrated it as a much-needed correction to the toxic demands of.
For companies, offering full-time employment has always been expensive and risky. But there was one reason bosses were reluctant to outsource jobs: They couldn't imagine trusting people to get their work done out of sight. They supervised by way of butts-in-seats surveillance — checking that people were at their desks, typing away and making calls and furrowing their eyebrows in a way that suggested they were working hard. That ruled out contractors, because contractors work remotely.
Whether all this is a good thing or a bad thing depends on one critical question: Are employees beinginto independent work because they can't find full-time jobs, or are they opting for gig work because theyit? Both McKinsey's and Gusto's data indicate it's mostly the latter.
The shift away from full-time employment could also wind up hurting employers in the long run. As companies invest less in their workers, they'll get less out of those workers, who in return will invest less in their companies. That's one reason so many bosses are ordering people back to the office. Without a shared workplace culture, they worry about their ability to engage and motivate employees.
