    I did not find any proper meaning of phrase quiet quitting

    It might as well mean - working only the amount you are paid for - which sounds totally reasonable.

    Totally corporate worded article.

      It’s a phrase meant to replace the old phrase “working your wage”, because that way of viewing it makes the whole situation less dramatic and more noble … and generates less clicks. Classic newsspeak.

      I always took it to mean “doing the least amount of work possible without getting fired.” If someone’s making an effort to work the amount they’re paid for, I wouldn’t consider it quiet quitting.
