Salary Squatting

Definition: Salary Squatting refers to the practice where an employee remains in their current job position primarily for the consistent income or benefits it provides, despite lacking motivation, engagement, or ambition to progress in their career or contribute meaningfully to the organization.

This behavior often results in minimal effort or productivity from the employee, as their main focus is on maintaining their salary rather than on professional growth or organizational success.
