The thing is, the term sounds like "just waiting to be fired" but every thought piece I've seen about it is "employees are just meeting expectations and that's bad." The first crop of articles, etc. about this were all of the "meeting expectations" variety. But folks who only glanced at headlines interpreted it the other way. I would love it if people push back on this term and refuse to accept it. There's plenty of terms already in circulation that describe sandbagging or whatever. This is just another anti-worker trend that tries to blame workers for a rational decision to draw reasonable boundaries and refuse to do more work for the same money.
