158. Quiet Cracking at Work: How to Spot It and Take Back Ownership of Your Career
Description
Are you showing up to work but secretly running on fumes? You’re not alone. According to a 2025 TalentLMS report, 54% of employees admit they’re unhappy at work, and Gallup estimates this disengagement is costing the global economy $438 billion. But this isn’t laziness—it’s a breakdown of purpose, clarity, and connection.
In this episode, we dive into the rise of quiet cracking—a silent form of burnout that looks like coasting, disengaging, and daydreaming of something better. I’ll share how to recognize the warning signs and what practical steps you can take to reignite your purpose and reclaim ownership of your career.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- The difference between quiet quitting, burnout, and quiet cracking
- Four key signs you’re quietly cracking at work
- Why leadership, training, and clarity matter more than ever
- Three practical steps to shift from disengagement to ownership
- Simple action items to start regaining energy and direction this week
If you’ve been feeling stuck, invisible, or overwhelmed at work, this episode is your reminder: you are not broken—you’re ready for a shift.
