Comment on The Great Resignation Is Still Here, but Whether It Stays Is Up to Leaders

Replying to Andrew Rothwell

We also have much talk of 'quiet quitting', employees essentially sitting back in their jobs and working to contract or less. In some ways this is more insidious that actually resigning: the employees are still there on the payroll but their contribution is significantly reduced. The Chinese have a great phrase for it: 'touching fish'.

One other thing that's driving me crazy - does anyone have an actual citation for Anthony's original creation of the 'Great Resignation' idea? I believe it dates from May 2021 but I cannot nail this down to one publication item. Help please anyone? Thank You in anticipation!

I agree with your insights about quiet quitting.

It's behind a paywall, but here's the original mention:
