Abstract
When we overwork, we exceed our capacity to perform without personal damage. At the same time, we lack enough time to recover from workplace demands. Recently, this has resulted in “quiet quitting,” the TikTok-inspired trend of workers staying on the job but not going beyond minimum requirements, abandoning the “hustle culture.”
