Is the "quiet quitting" wave a consequence of the "quota hiring" wave?

Quiet quitting is fake. If you want your team to do more work, pay them more. If you don’t have enough headcount to get work done, hire more. Working people to the bone outside of their specialities is stupid. Penny smart dollar stupid.

Quiet quitting is just having work boundaries and not wanting to be a manager, no idea what quota hiring is

Yeah, it's a hackneyed phrase that says just that.

Whoever the branding manager is who came up with the phrase "quiet quitting" needs to be fired.

What do you mean by quota hiring? I just want to make sure that I am in line with what you are asking.

Quiet quitting in sales doesn't work, leads to PIP then dismissal.

quiet quitting in non-sales is just wagie things.

Quiet quitting is the best way to collectively get our generation of folks wages up! You want additional work beyond my role’s responsibilities? Sounds like a raise.

I googled "quota hiring". If the google results are indicative of your direction, this is going to be a bumpy ride.

My mind didn't make that connection until I read your comment. Googled to confirm.

I'll go out on a limb and interpret quiet quitting as a way of doing the bare minimum to keep your job/stay under the radar. I'd venture that quota hiring is hiring based upon DEI standards that many companies are implementing.

Based on those definitions I would say No. I don't think one has anything to do with the other.

No, the two are mutually exclusive.

I disagree that "quota hiring" has lead to "quiet quitting". I think "quiet quitting" is a way to work around your own schedule and get things done that are assigned to you, by your deadline. and if you're quiet quitting in the sense that you're just coasting until you get fired then it's coasting.

quota hiring people of different backgrounds doesn't lead to these people coasting in my experience.

I think they are unrelated, but could be some correlation. Quiet quitting is not just in sales or in tech, it's across millennials and GenZ overall.
