(1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter Cappelli, professor at The Wharton School, suggests that the right solution for quiet quitting falls somewhere between \u201cTheory X (people are lazy and have to be watched or they will goof off) [and] Theory Y (people want to do a good job if we just give them the context in which to do it).\u201d His recommended solution is similar to Gallup.&nbsp; He says, \u201cGoing forward, we have to get better at managing performance, which includes engaging and supporting employees but also holding them accountable for it. And that comes back to supervisors.\u201d (2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colleen Francis, sales consultant from Engage Selling, has a different opinion on Quiet Quitting.&nbsp; Colleen says there is no such thing as Quiet Quitting in sales.&nbsp; There is only achieving your results or not achieving your results. The job of the sales manager is to ensure that 100% of the team is accomplishing 100% of the result.&nbsp; Results matter, not effort. (3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All three opinions suggest that the solution is with management.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One final point.&nbsp; The employee who quietly quits is not doing himself or herself a favor.&nbsp; On the contrary, employees who quietly quitting are hurting themself. &nbsp;It behooves employees to always do their best work and learn as much as they can from their job.&nbsp; If the job is untenable, move on.&nbsp; But meanwhile, always do your best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(1) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/398306\/quiet-quitting-real.aspx\">https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/398306\/quiet-quitting-real.aspx<\/a><br>(2) <a href=\"https:\/\/hrexecutive.com\/quiet-quitting-why-its-exactly-what-should-be-happening-today\/\">https:\/\/hrexecutive.com\/quiet-quitting-why-its-exactly-what-should-be-happening-today\/<\/a><br>(3) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engageselling.com\/blog\/there-is-no-such-thing-as-quiet-quitting-in-sales\/\">https:\/\/www.engageselling.com\/blog\/there-is-no-such-thing-as-quiet-quitting-in-sales\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quiet quitting refers to employees who \u201care not going above and beyond [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[38,71],"tags":[53,14],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hrnetsourcedemo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hrnetsourcedemo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hrnetsourcedemo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hrnetsourcedemo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hrnetsourcedemo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=351"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hrnetsourcedemo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":352,"href":"https:\/\/hrnetsourcedemo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351\/revisions\/352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hrnetsourcedemo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hrnetsourcedemo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hrnetsourcedemo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
