I understand that it actually is a concern for people .

The text deals with quiet quitting

Moreover In the text the employee worked too much 60 hours a week

Quiet quitting means doing  only what your job demands and nothing more, so you come to  do your work hours and you return  home.

that trends  come from the GZ generation  

that movement was born in China.

in the second paragraph the journalist takes the   example of a young worker named Georgia Gabsby, she did exactly the contrary of quiet quitting and she comes close to a burnout because of the extra hours. Even if Georgia was invested in the compagny, her manager promised her a  pay rise but that never came. Georgia eventually left her job. 

in the third paragraph perisha kudhail interviews Emma gabsby another  young worker, like Georgia, Emma was  turned down for a promotion .( to be turned down = ne pas être considéré) 

 Quiet quitting is a mindset where you decide to do the minimum at work.

The employees consider that their are not given proper recognition by their boss and companies so they decide to focus on their work life balance.
