Quiet Quitting Is NOT What You Think (Psychology Explained)

Season #3

Is quiet quitting really laziness… or is it a nervous system response?

In this episode, we break down the psychology behind “quiet quitting” and why most organisations completely misunderstand what’s actually happening.

We explore:

  • The real meaning of quiet quitting

  • Burnout vs boundary setting

  • Psychological safety in the workplace

  • How confirmation bias leads managers to mislabel employees

  • The difference between compliance and commitment

  • Why context matters more than behaviour alone

  • How quiet quitting shows up in relationships not just work

This isn’t about workplace trends.
This is about human behaviour, nervous system threat responses, burnout research, and behavioral intelligence.

If you lead people, manage risk, work in corporate, HR, security, or simply want to understand human behaviour better, this episode is essential.
