I've been lucky enough to have gotten on a boutique track early in my tech career; accordingly, I enjoyed my professional well being having often been catered to, and I made a principle out of minding others' well being as well. I always had something to do or someone to help, or at least a ladder to lead me to a somewhat better place than before.
However, all of the glimpses I've had into the tech industry at large more often than not would find endless swaths of powerless serfs, governed by incompetent and indifferent bossmen ganging up to hide their incontinence; and of course, outside of tech this was even worse. I think that quiet quitting is a perfectly rational strategy if that's where you're at.

Essentially, we were the IT department for the Bob & Bobs. As Machiavellian as that company was, the IT dept was different and felt like "we're in this together".
