    It’s corporate media term for doing what your job requires, but not giving your time to companies for free

        because if you’re not giving your all to the company, are you really working?

      No one gives their time to a company for free. That’s volunteering. Getting paid doesn’t mean you’re quiet quitting.

      Quiet quitting means doing the absolute minimum not to get fired, showing no initiative or ambition. Employers often expect you to work extra hard and do a bunch of bonus work to try to get promoted or a raise. They believe all this extra work is part of what they’re paying for. But an employee who has quiet quit will do none of that, accept that the job is a dead end job, and just do the minimum to keep from getting fired.

        People do give their time to companies for free- it’s called working free overtime and tons of people do it (exempt employee pain), which is why employers are not happy with the change. What my comment says is just the short version of what you’re saying- you’re doing what the job requires and no more
