"Quiet quitting" is yet another term coined by the hysterical media. It's not a real thing. Sure, there are probably people just sitting around doing nothing and collecting a paycheck. But the media machine conceived this term to discredit actual labor fairness.
What is real is people doing their exact role, as prescribed, and nothing more. Contracted 40 hours on salary? That's what you get. It's the natural response to companies exerting almost total control of your life. You may not feel this way, but people on PagerDuty, analysts, etc all do. If you aren't paid commensurate to your life sacrifices you're not quiet quitting you're fixing the agreement to be fair. As evidenced by "quiet quitters" being fired you are implicitly expected to work longer and harder than your contract hours and pay. The board room appreciates your sacrifice, they will send you a pizza party once the budget for it is approved.
