The idea that quiet quitting is about doing the work you’re paid for is the misnomer. Quiet quitting is about people who are doing below the bare minimum they’re supposed to do. Either because they knew they wouldn’t get fired during the labor crunch a few months ago, or because they were working multiple jobs and once again through they could get away with it. The problem is that the “quiet quitters” who were interviewed for these articles didn’t present themselves in that way for obvious reasons. Instead they presented themselves as people who were just doing what they were required and not more. Which describes 70-80% of the workforce for decades.
