'Quiet quitting' means not going beyond that what you are paid for. No overachieving, no engagement with your work beyond what is needed to do that work. Regardless of the societal causes (and those are interesting), this sounds like a solid defence mechanism to stave off burnout and the growing sense of dread when your work feels like it adds only minimal value to society.

>'Quiet quitting' means not going beyond that what you are paid for. No overachieving, no engagement with your work beyond what is needed to do that work So, it's a progaganda negative term for actually "doing your work"? Like, you're supposed to not just do your job, but do way more, lose sleep over it, have unpaid overtime, skip vacation days, leave 2-3 hours after your shift, and so on, lest you'd be "quiet quitting"? How about the company should give a full month vacation time per year, WFH option, parental leave to both parents when needed, extra days off for chores and stuff, full insurance coverage and such, a nice work environment, strict 8 hour workday, and private office space - or they're doing "quiet slave labour"?
