Quiet quitting isn’t a trend—it’s a symptom. Ajay Pangarkar joins Shane to reveal what’s really driving employee disengagement, and why it's costing businesses more than they realize.

This conversation explores how economic stress, poor communication, and the vanishing middle manager are leaving workers unsupported and disconnected. Ajay explains why mentorship matters, how soft costs like turnover and training add up, and what leaders can actually do to re-engage teams.

Hear why the “lazy worker” myth misses the mark, and how better management—not more surveillance—is the real solution.
