decentering work, quiet quitting and bouncing back after being laid off
is it quiet quitting or are we just finally being realistic about our bandwidth at work? 🫠
in this week’s episode, we dive deep into the concepts of decentering work, quiet quitting, and bouncing back after being laid off. we start by exploring the phenomenon of quiet quitting—what it is, why it happens, and whether it's just a matter of doing what you're paid to do.
we'll share practical tips on how to achieve this by creating a value system independent of your job title, engaging in hobbies, prioritizing self-care, and investing in personal development. and of course, you’ll hear from our host, Priscilla O. Agyeman, MPH on her own journey after being laid off, as well as valuable resources and related episodes to support you on your #corporatebaddie journey.
in this unfiltered episode, we discuss:
what quiet quitting actually is: beyond the declined Teams meeting invites, we dive deep into what the behavioral aspects of quiet quitting is, and beg the question: is it quiet quitting or just doing what you’re paid and contracted to do? 🫣
how to bounce back after being laid off: sharing from personal experience, your host, Priscilla, opens up about her own journey of being laid off from a tech startup, and how she used the time off to reset her nervous system, explored hobbies and freelance work, and ultimately pivoted into a new industry altogether
