Forty-five percent of IT professionals embrace quiet quitting

Nearly half of IT professionals are consciously practicing "quiet quitting," doing only their assigned tasks. This trend is most prevalent among younger workers. A survey found that 45% of IT workers identify with quiet quitting, a work style that avoids exceeding job expectations. This is driven by feelings of unfair compensation and a desire to prioritize well-being due to heavy workloads. The study suggests companies should improve evaluation transparency and offer growth opportunities to combat this trend. The survey was conducted in November 2025 with 3,000 IT professionals aged 20-59.
