Travis Kling, CIO of Ikigai Asset Management, observes a growing disengagement within the crypto community, dubbing it ‘Quiet Quitting’. He attributes this to a disillusionment with unfulfilled promises and a lack of real-world utility in many projects. Despite the pessimism, Kling offers a glimmer of hope for the future, suggesting regulatory changes could bring about a more sustainable crypto ecosystem.
As millennials enter management roles, Gen Z becomes the focus of workplace scrutiny. Critics label them as overly casual and difficult to work with, leading to a trend known as “resenteeism.” This is a combination of resentment and absenteeism, where employees remain in unsatisfying jobs due to limited options or fear of unemployment in the current economic climate. Gen Z workers exhibit high levels of disengagement, with 47% admitting to “coasting” at work and 42% stating that they primarily work for a paycheck. They crave more meaningful work (14%) and autonomy (21%). To address these issues, leaders should foster a sense of connection among coworkers and empower employees with greater ownership over their tasks, creating a more engaged and productive workforce.
