The previous piece we shared concerning the trend of ‘silent resignation’ has garnered a lot of attention from our readers, both offline and online. We invite you to share your thoughts on the matter.
Do you feel compelled to pull longer hours than you’re contractually obliged to, just to stay afloat at your job? Is it commonplace in your work environment to put in extra effort with little to no recognition or reward? Have you encountered the gradual addition of responsibilities to your workload that were not initially part of your job description?
Is there an ongoing struggle with employers not adjusting to a post-pandemic “new normal” or is the rush simply a seasonal or yearly occurrence in your profession?
The concept brought up by a manager in the subsequent quotation notably garnered a substantial amount of feedback:
“There have always been individuals who strictly adhere to their 9-5 routine, without extending themselves beyond their specified hours, and would not contribute during a crisis. However, there’s an emerging sense of unease and hidden hostility that’s truly draining.”
We would like to hear your perspective on this matter. Has the notion of only working the hours stipulated by your contract become a form of ‘silent resignation’ in your profession? What has been your personal experience with pressure to commit to additional work or extended hours?
