Is ‘Quiet Quitting’ a Mental Health Necessity or Laziness?

Gen Z rejects overwork, but critics call it entitlement. Is setting boundaries self-care, or are young people avoiding hard work? As a Gen Z do you believe in quiet quitting, or is it just a trend?

recently, I read a report where it was mentioned that companies are not hiring Gen Z because this generation is unreliable. I think this has to do with they being lazy.

“Quiet quitting” can be seen both ways, some view it as setting healthy boundaries to protect mental health, while others call it laziness or lack of ambition. Often, it reflects burnout and disillusionment more than unwillingness to work.

Quiet quitting often signals burnout and the need for balance, not laziness. It’s a way some protect mental health by setting limits. Understanding the root causes helps employers and individuals address workplace culture and personal well-being effectively.
