Quiet quitting is something else. It looks like it’s not real but propaganda and it’s more like people do their duties and nothing else like going the extra mile on any task or doing any unpaid overtime. If you notice quiet quitting is nothing bad per see but some folks pushed this narrative as if something negative. There was a HN thread few days back about the validity of the term.

Quiet Quitting is the negative rebrand of 'work-to-rule' which is a union tactic corporations don't want back in the public consciousness.

There is no shame in doing what you are paid to do, and no more, if your employer is making life unpleasant in some way. In fact, for most people, withholding additional labor is the only leverage they have in the employer-employee relationship.
