In this episode of The Working Week with entrepreneur Ben Askins - with job burnout at 66% in 2025 and global trends of “quiet-quitting” sky-rocketing, we’re asking: is our obsession with work trends and buzzwords a bad thing and what does it say about the erosion of job satisfaction in the modern workplace?
Ben is joined by Careers Coach Phillip Holmes - who has built a loyal following on social media for his advice on how to handle toxic jobs, bosses and workplaces - to discover why 54% of us are “quiet-cracking” and 62% cite toxic workplace culture as the most common reason for leaving a job.
Whether you’re an employee “burnout blocking” as we speak and on the cusp of “revenge-quitting”, or you’re a boss baffled as to why nobody wants to work for you, this one’s for you. You’ll also get Ben’s best advice for companies and careers, and a few laughs along the way!
