Quiet quitting,

 When food delivery people like dasher and uber eats refuse to go to your apt to drop off food. That's an example of quiet quitting

Quiet quitting” has taken the media world by storm. The trend, which was named by a Gen Z creator on TikTok, basically involves doing the bare minimum at your job while looking for a new one. It’s led to backlash from experts including Arianna Huffington, who told Fortune that such behavior can hurt your career.  

Before long, it emerged that bosses are getting in on the trend, too: engaging in “quiet firing.” Rather than giving an employee honest feedback and steps to improve, bosses are quietly ignoring their requests for promotions or higher pay, hoping they’ll be demoralized enough to leave on their own.

The worrying trend has also extended to the dating world with “quiet dumping.” Psychology Today wrote about the “slow fade” trend, which involves distancing yourself from a partner over time rather than having an honest conversation. It’s even more passive aggressive than ghosting, the previous breakup choice for the conflict-avoidant. Ignoring someone sends a stronger message than tapering back on your hangouts while staying in touch. 

The workplace dynamics have shifted so dramatically it’s as if everyone is a character in Succession, being frozen out or freezing someone else out at every turn.
