Gen Z is quiet quitting because we've seen Millennials suffer economic hardship
&gt; to me quiet quitting is fulfilling your job responsibilities and contract hours without going above and beyond for a workplace that just won&#x27;t love you back.<p>Someone needs to come up with a better name for this. “Quiet quitting” absolutely does not imply the above meaning… that’s simply work and nothing else.<p>From the POV of a software developer I’d consider quiet quitting as doing the bare minimum work to not be fired outright and instead placed on a PIP with no intention of surviving it.<p>You play your cards right and you would basically be paid 6 months for minimal effort, between when performance degradation is first noticed, PIP deployed, and your company Slack access is finally disabled.
