The last couple years have popularized a name for this: quiet quitting. Meaning, you start fulfilling the contractual obligations of your employment and not an ounce more.
It recognizes that most employers want to have their cake and eat it too: treat employment transactionally from their end but have the employees consider it a higher calling.

- lioeters 4y agoTo complement "quiet quitting", a new phrase I learned is "acting your wage". It means, you put in as much as work as you're getting paid to do, as much as what you think your labor is worth - no more. Work less if you can manage it, though some people are afflicted by a sense of "fairness". Most companies do not care at all about fairness - in fact, they're designed to exploit you as much as you let them.
