It's likely to happen. Those words you were determined never to say come out of your mouth. And immediately, you think to yourself. I really do sound like my parents! Is that good or bad? It only makes sense that the leader you become in the workplace is influenced to some extent by your experiences and those you admire.

The news is full of this idea of “quiet quitting.” That's where people do just what the job requires and not more. Well, I have a contrarian view: Why do managers think it's okay to ask people to do more? What is it about “more” that managers want?

Toxic workplaces raise their ugly heads again and again at employees. As a result, they disengage and resign. While companies say they are for employee engagement, as a recession looms, they speak out of both sides of their mouth.
