Nobody's believed that since, I'd say, the 1970s-1980s. Even Japan, famous for its culture of lifetime employment, phased that out in the 1990s. It's ridiculous to suggest that that's a new phenomenon.

Quiet quitting is a relatively new phenomenon. You’re statement only makes sense if you oversimplify

Surely you jest. Coasting and resting-and-vesting have been around longer than most of the people reading this site have been alive. That some influencers and hack journalists rebranded it to quiet quitting and marketed it as the trendy thing to do does not remotely make it a new phenomenon.

No i don’t jest. Coasting and rest-and-vest have a completely different vibe than quiet quitting. The former is more like “fuck it”, whereas the latter is more like “fuck you”.
