55% of Singapore’s Gen Z are planning on quiet quitting — Indeed study
The majority, or 55%, of Singapore’s Gen Z workers are planning on quiet quitting their jobs due to salary dissatisfaction and burnout.
According to a survey by the employment website Indeed Singapore, 45% of Singaporean workers are looking to quiet quit due to their salaries, while 44% said that they feel overwhelmed with their work. Other reasons include dissatisfaction with career progression and lack of employer support.
Singapore workers define quiet quitting as saying no to the “hustle culture” that pushes employees to do extra hours and give their most at work.
Indeed India and Southeast Asia Marketing Director Nishita Lalvani said, “Our survey identifies how workers in Singapore want to limit the pressure from work in their lives.”
“But it is important to note that they are not saying they don’t want to work hard. They are just stressing the limits and the desire to have a better life-work balance,” she added.
The Gen Z population is also found to be the least interested in money when choosing a job. Instead, 45% prioritize flexibility, and 43% look for career progression when evaluating a job offer.
About 15%, meanwhile, are prioritizing working with friends and people they already know.
