‘Lying Flat’ in China vs ‘Quiet Quitting’ in US: Are Young Workers Checked Out?

Описание: The term "quiet quitting" has taken social media by storm in both China and the US and it is particularly favored by the Gen Z in the workplace. How does "quiet quitting", or "Lying flat" as it is called in China, manifest itself in China and the US, given their different economic systems?

In this episode of Overlap, Ben Becker, editor-in-chief of BreakThrough News is joined by current affairs commentator Kris Yang from China in a discussion on workplace culture in the two countries.

Overlap is a global conversation show based on a simple concept — while US elites are working to build a new Cold War environment with China, we want to do the opposite, with people-to-people dialogue and virtual exchanges that show how much we have in common, and how much we have to lose from a new policy of isolation and demonization. This show is made in collaboration with our friends at WaveMedia @WaveMedia, a private media house in China.
