“Quiet Quitting” started as a way for Gen-Zers to communicate with each other the reality that you can, in fact, not sublimate your entire identity and all of your time to a job and not get fired…..that you can just treat your job as a j-o-b, not as the sole determent of your value as a person…and that you can especially do this if your job treats

If you didn’t want to look closely at your own organizational practices, if you felt uncomfortable about what younger works were agitating for, if you feared changed or anything that usurped your understanding of “how business is done” — Quiet Quitting was the easy answer.

“I recently heard about this idea of quiet quitting,” the narrator begins, “where, you’re not quitting your job, but quitting the idea of going above and beyond in your work.”
