Jobstreet by SEEK shares what employers should know about ‘Quiet Cracking’

Know more about this workplace buzzword and what employers can do about it

Workplace culture continues to evolve, so do buzzwords that define different employee experiences—bare minimum Mondays, rage applying, quiet quitting, you name it. But did you know that there is a new emerging term for someone who remains in their job but is mentally detached from work and colleagues? It’s called “Quiet Cracking.”

Unlike quiet quitting, quiet cracking is less noticeable at work. This usually stems from persistent unhappiness at work due to many factors, wherein employees still do their job but quietly lose their enthusiasm and drive to go the extra mile, resulting in disengagement.
