Published: Sept. 13, 2022, 9 a.m.

This week, in episode 123 and in light of reports that half of the U.S. workforce has \u201cquietly quit\u201d their jobs, Shawn Busse, Paul Downs, and William Vanderbloemen talk about the latest rage: Is quiet quitting something new? Is it just a media creation? Have Shawn, Paul, and William experienced it in their businesses? And who\u2019s to blame? Plus, the three owners explain how they hire for engagement and how they\u2019ve changed their hiring processes in response to the pandemic and the labor shortage. For example, Paul explains why, in this brave new world, he continues to flip conventional wisdom on its head: Instead of hiring slow and firing fast, he\u2019s been hiring fast and firing slow. And he says it\u2019s working.
