'Quiet cracking' describes the silent struggle of employees feeling unhappy and disengaged at work but feeling unable to leave, often due to financial or emotional reasons. Workers share experiences of stress, mental health challenges, and the feeling of being trapped, highlighting the need for better workplace support and understanding.
A Pew Research Center survey found that older workers are more likely to have favorable opinions of their jobs, including their connections with co-workers, job duties, and potential for advancement. Only 44% of workers ages 18 to 29 are highly satisfied with their occupations, compared to 65% of adults 65 and older. Workplace satisfaction increases with age, but workers under 50 are more likely to say their job is stressful and overwhelming. Relationships with co-workers and supervisors are key to job satisfaction.
