Can termination be justified if a member of Gen Z quits without giving notice?

The term "Quiet Quitting" has emerged as a Gen-Z buzzword, referring to the act of employees only fulfilling their contractual obligations, without going above and beyond for their company. This is in contrast to the strong work ethic of Gen X and Millennials, who believe in putting in maximum effort. Employers are taking note of this trend and addressing this issue. A recent legal case, Jacinta Wambua vs. Stanbic Bank Kenya Limited, saw an employee sue her former employer for unfair termination. She was terminated for neglecting her duties as a personal assistant (PA) to the CEO, which included managing the CEO's diary and process his visa application. Jacinta failed to process the visa, claiming it was not part of her job description and that she did not receive all the necessary documents on time. The court found that her lack of proactivity and neglect of duties resulted in the CEO missing his travel plans, which justified her termination. This case serves as a warning to Gen Z employees who engage in quiet quitting, as it may result in an employer issuing a notice to show cause.
