People who aren’t doing their job are not quiet quitting so I don’t think your example applies to this discussion.

  Sadly, for whatever reason, people who aren't doing their job also aren't being fired nearly as often as they used to be either. This fact can also contribute to a feeling of despair which leads good hard working employees to feel like giving up as well. When you're working your butt off and doing a great job, and the guy/gal next to you is constantly slacking, and somehow you're both getting paid the same, while some weasely little manager talks down to everyone all the time, it kinda makes you wanna just do the absolute bare minimum you can get away with doing.

  They do enough to avoid the ire of the business that would get them fired. Coasting because they can. Which I thought fits pretty well.

    If their coasting falls within the minimum expectations then they are still doing their job. If their coasting is sub-minimal, that means both them and their managers are not doing their job, because management is not firing them when they should be. Thus both parties are not quiet quitting. It's also not just about firing. If they're not engaged, it's up to management to unblock them, train them, incentivize them, reprimand them, put them on PIPs, etc. It's not a one-way street.
