At least half the U.S. workforce is psychologically detached from work and putting in the

bare minimum at their jobs, a recent poll found. Employee engagement has dropped steeply since 2020 and is the lowest it’s been in nearly a decade, with only 32% of employees reporting being engaged at their jobs and 18% actively disengaged, the Gallup poll found. The findings align with the online trend of “quiet quitting,” or the bare minimum.
