Is “quiet quitting” the same as “not going above and beyond”?

For some reason I had thought it meant actually not working when you otherwise would / can.

I think that’s the problem, everyone has these implied scenarios they don’t mention.

Probably depends on the article you read. The ones I've seen define it as not answering emails on nights/weekends, working "only" 8 hours each day, etc.

And for me that’s just “normal”.

Not that I don’t put in extra work, but I don’t think of just 8 being quiet quitting.

I just wonder why people ever started thinking those kinds of over-work behaviors were normal.
