The term "quiet quitting" has been used a lot lately. It means different things to different people but the term essentially means you are drawing a line with your employer and saying you are not going beyond your duties. The term really became popular after millions of people watched a Tiktok created by Zaid Leppelin where he talked about what quiet quitting is. You can watch the Tiktok here.

Mary Chao of northjersey.com and USA TODAY New Jersey has been researching the concept. She sat down with 5 Things Sunday host James Brown to talk about why this concept is so popular right now. She also talks about which generation has really brought out this concept the most and why and how much a boss has to do with this mindset.
