Does your boss think you’re fine… but inside you’re hanging on by a thread? 😵💫 There’s a new term for that — “Quiet Cracking.”
It’s when you’re meeting deadlines, looking like a rockstar on the outside 💼✨… but inside, you feel like you’re one email away from losing it. You’re not at the quiet quitting stage yet (bare minimum work), but you’re definitely not okay.
A new poll shows just how common it is:📊 59% of people say they’re currently “quiet cracking” and another 20% recently were. That’s nearly 8 out of 10 employees. 😳
Top 5 Reasons People Quiet Crack:
- 📈 Too much work (43%)
- 🏠 Personal life stress (40%)
- 😤 Bad management (36%)
- 🔄 Repetitive work (34%)
- 💸 Poor compensation (31%)
(And close behind: lack of recognition 👏 (30%) and limited growth 🚫 (28%).)
So How Do People Cope?
Most say they’re either:🌴 Taking time off… or💼 Looking for a new job.
In fact, 62% of “quiet crackers” are at least somewhat likely to leave their job in the next six months.
If you’re feeling this, you’re definitely not alone. 💔 Maybe it’s time for a vacation day… or maybe time to update that résumé. ✍️
