'Quiet cracking' refers to employees who feel unhappy or disengaged yet remain at their jobs due to financial needs or fears about changing roles. These individuals often feel trapped in their current positions, leading to mental health struggles and stress. Factors contributing to this feeling include the challenges of the job market and personal circumstances. Workers like Chanel Douglas express their struggles, often feeling overwhelmed and stuck, which can impact their mental well-being significantly.
