The phenomenon of “quiet quitting” is evolving into a louder form of discontent known as “grumpy staying.” This term describes a growing trend where disgruntled employees, despite their dissatisfaction, choose to remain in their jobs due to a tightening job market.
Recent internal polls from tech giants like Microsoft and Salesforce reveal a concerning trend. Less than half of the surveyed employees would choose to stay if they received a comparable offer elsewhere. This is a significant drop from previous years, indicating a growing dissatisfaction within the workforce.
According to Gallup’s 2023 State of the Global Workplace report, 59% of employees worldwide are “quiet quitting,” while 18% are “loud quitting.” These “loud quitters” are actively disengaged, potentially causing harm to their companies without actually leaving their jobs.
The labour shortage during the Great Resignation allowed workers to negotiate better pay and benefits. However, as the shortage eases, the power dynamics are shifting back in favour of employers. Wages are slowing down, and job openings are primarily in blue-collar positions, leaving many employees feeling less empowered.
In conclusion, the shift from “quiet quitting” to “grumpy staying” is a clear indicator of the changing dynamics in the job market. As the labour shortage eases, employees are finding themselves in a less empowered position, leading to a rise in dissatisfaction. However, this doesn’t have to be the status quo.
