So Many People Are 'Quiet Quitting' Their Jobs In Florida & These Cities Rank Highest In US
The burnout is real.
There's a new trend on TikTok called "Quiet Quitting", only it's not just a funny video skit. People, especially those with jobs in Florida cities, are silently backing out of extra tasks as a response to burnout culture.
The term means that employees are starting to only do what is required of them without going above and beyond in order to establish a better work/life balance. In other words, you're not unemployed, you're just not overachieving.
One TikToker put simply that "it's genuinely ridiculous" we live in a world where "asking to be paid for the work that you do is called quitting".

A team-building events company, Wildgoose, researched 75 cities in all 50 states. They looked at the number of times "occupational burnout was searched on Google.
The experts found Jacksonville, FL ranked No. 3 and Tallahassee, FL ranked No. 10 for the most increased amount of times people looked up these keywords online.
Workers in JAX typed in the phrase 68% more in the last 12 weeks compared to 2021. People who live in the state's capital elevated their search by 44% during this same time period.
The study found that Florida is a state keener to see those employed doing the bare minimum and "quiet quitting". As a whole, it places in the 17th spot across America with an overall 39.31% "occupational burnout" search increase.
Wildgoose Director, Johnny Edser, recommends improving morale with team-building activities which gives people a "real break".
"They also help people to foster better connections with coworkers, who can support and sympathize when work stress becomes too much," he said.
On the social media video app, creators are coining the terms "act your wage" and calling 9-5's a scam. They are rallying to discuss toxic work cultures and share their stories about burnout in the workplace.
