I came across this phrase in a news story. If you feel that you're working extra hard and getting no recognition, no pay rise, no kudos, no whatever, but you aren't at the point of resigning, you can "quiet quit" which means just doing the minimum. It's not a long term plan. All the people in the article had later left those jobs. Why would you stay somewhere that didn't treat you well? But conversely, while you're still there, why would you do anything extra?
I was amused by the idea that one way people did this was by not looking at their email outside working hours. Why were you doing that in the first place?? Either it's so urgent that it needs a phone call, or it will wait until the morning.
