    That’s…definitionally not quitting, quiet or otherwise. That’s literally doing the work you agreed to do when hired.

      Yes, but when they hired you, they planned to overwork and exploit you. It’s not fair that they can’t do so!

        Oh well then I feel so bad for them /s

        When I started my current job they told me the position was 45 hours/week. For my salary and task load that sounded reasonable. After that 45 I am gone and they respect my boundaries, which was honestly unexpected.

      I think “quiet quiting” specifically refers to a sliding of your norms that remain within the outlined KPIs. For example, if you usually respond to requests within the hour and the organizational requirement is within 1 business day, starting to not respond to requests until they’ve sat for several hours without any actual change to your workload would be very noticeable, but ultimately its still well within the required timeframe
