I though the definition was "doing the bare minimum", which could be your job description or less if they let you.

On a side note, with all the fantastical language used in job descriptions these days I sort of doubt anyone knows what the actual metrics/standard or bare minimum is. I know I don't.

The fantastical language is deliberate. The more obfuscated the job description the more than can con you into doing things you weren't hired to do.

Though it's been years since I've been in the market, many (most?) job postings had "and other duties as required" at the bottom for this very reason.

Yeah sure, but the issue with many jobs is that they expect you to do all that and be happy and positive about it as well. They don't just want your labor for a fixed set of time, they want you.

They want you to treat them like family while they reserve the right to treat you like a number.

The thing with acting your wage (as quiet quitting should better be called) is that many employers just don't deserve any better. If you have the rare luck of working in a company that really treats it's employees well, your employees certainly will not be too accurate about what their contract says and what is exludeded.

But if you are one of those companies that fired people during a global pandemic and expect loyalty, you don't have a good understanding how societies work.
