How to talk to the boss about quietting?
Quiet quitting has become the buzzword in the American job market as it highlights the need for a balance between work and personal life.
But how do you hit that middle ground without looking sloppy or ending up making your mental health worse? THE Sheet went to listen to the experts.
Understand: The term that went viral on TikTok means silent resignation, but its supporters don’t want to leave the job. The idea is to impose limits, such as fulfilling the agreed workday, without extrapolating their functions and schedules.
- When approaching the boss about this, experts say that care must be taken in the way of communicating and understanding the organizational culture –demands, needs– of each company.
- They also emphasize that it is important to maintain a healthy level of engagement with the job, without failing to see some meaning in it, so that the relationship does not degenerate into a way of meeting the schedule.
why it matters: the repercussion of the term does not happen by chance. The pandemic brought the home office and with it the difficulty of diluting the limits between home and work.
- The health crisis ended up only showing a breakdown in the monthly health of workers that already existed before it.
Why does Jackson Hole matter?
Central bankers from around the world gather this week in the American Midwest for the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium, the most important annual gathering of monetary policy decision makers.
The event is closely monitored by the market because what is discussed there may indicate a direction in the interest rate trajectory of the main economies – mainly the US –, a decisive ingredient for the global stock, bond and foreign exchange markets.
What the market is waiting for: speech by Jerome Powell, chairman of the Fed.
- There is an expectation of an indication as to how he sees the trajectory of the current interest rate cycle, that is, to what extent it should rise and when it may start to fall in the face of an inflation that has reached its 40-year peak and that was born in the supply crisis generated by the pandemic.
- Analysts are also waiting for a signal about the September meeting, after recent US activity data recorded a slowdown in the economy.
why it matters: a tougher statement by Powell on interest rates is likely to increase risk aversion in markets, drawing resources from emerging countries and boosting the dollar. For Brazil, this means a drop in the stock market, high interest rates and pressure on inflation.
The event had notable moments: it was at the 2007 meeting that there was an alert about problems in US real estate financing, whose bubble burst in 2008 caused a world economic crisis.
- In the 1980s, the conference anticipated a historic rise in interest rates in the United States, which had among its side effects a serious public debt crisis in the countries of South America.

- To watch: Industry – on HBO Max.
The series takes the viewer into the competitive environment of an investment bank by following the trajectory of young trainees who have six months to prove their worth and remain in the company permanently.
The newcomers are from Pierpont & Co., a fictitious investment bank in London’s financial district. They are allocated to different areas of the bank and struggle to adapt to a culture defined as much by sex, drugs and ego as it is by business and profit.
The series was created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, who worked in the finance business before being excluded from similar lawsuits the series shows.
Industry’s second season premiered this month on HBO Max, and four episodes have already been released.
