Kevin O’Leary: ‘Quiet quitting’ is the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard.

The term “quiet quitting” has different shades of meaning depending on the source. While individual contributors might think in terms of otherwise “engaged workers setting reasonable boundaries”, their employers might see them instead as “slackers who are willfully underperforming”. ~Wikipedia.org

Quiet Quitting is going to ruin your career.

This is what artificial intelligence said when asked “What is quiet quitting?”

Quiet quitting, also known as stealth quitting or ghosting, refers to the act of leaving a job without giving notice or informing the employer. This can involve simply not showing up for work and not communicating with the employer, or it may involve deleting contact information and severing all communication with the employer.

Quiet quitting is generally considered to be unprofessional and can have negative consequences for both the individual who quits in this manner and the employer. For the individual, quiet quitting may damage their reputation and make it more difficult to find future employment. For the employer, quiet quitting can be disruptive and costly, as it may require the company to find and train a replacement on short notice.

In general, it is considered best practice to give notice and inform an employer when leaving a job, and to do so in a respectful and professional manner. This allows for a smoother transition and helps to maintain good relationships and professional reputation.
