There's a term in German organization psychology of "Innere Kündigung", internal termination, that fits the phenomenon rather well. Unlike formal terminating your job, you're still around, but from a psychological point of view you might as well leave.

Wikipedia didn't link to an English term - I wonder if there is any established term of similar effect.

"One foot out the door"? "Mentally absent"? "Checked out"? Whatever it is, I'm familiar.

"Phoning it in", too.

Working out the clock, is one that I'm familiar with. Although it makes more sense when you work in an hourly position.
