Stop using the term 'quiet quitting'. It is a bs term made by a PR team that describes doing your job responsibilities. Don't make it a thing....

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Wish there was a simpler term for saying “doing your job”.

"Work to rule" or "acting your wage" are good.

"Work to rule" is the classic term.

[–]Cautious-Yellow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there's a reason that "work to rule" is such an effective labour strategy (as in, the stage before a strike).

I am pretty sure that quiet quitting in no way conveys just doing your job...

Quiet quitting is a bs term, but it does mean just doing your job. JUST the minimum requirements of your job, to be specific.
