The only usage that would make any sense, and what I have always thought must have been the original meaning, is people who literally sit on their phone and send in job applications and do little to no work until the boss notices.
This got turned into "doing only exactly what was asked" and now we're finally at "Really great work but could do more!!!!"
I think it's not asking for extra work, but the thing is if they did that their performance would likely drop. I genuinely don't get how managers seem incapable of understanding that the quality of the work turned in is directly related to timelines and workload.
Isn’t quiet quitting completing work to the minimum you can get away with?
How is this quiet quitting, and if it is, what isn’t?
It's not quiet quitting. This is a perfect example of words being so overused and applied so broadly that the meaning is lost.

It continues to irk me because doing what you’re paid to do is called a job.
Quiet quitting never had a worthwhile meaning to begin with. The way they defined that was literally just what having a job is
All these words were invented by managers anyway so it doesn’t matter
I think what they mean here is that the person does their assigned work and then goes home early instead of sitting around pretending to be busy.

I think this is probably a neurotic manager convinced they have quiet quitters on their team when they don't.
“Getting away with it” implies something devious. These people are just complaining about you doing your job and going home lol
And isn't that just Work To Rule? These people need to justify their fancy journalism degrees so they make up new terms
The whole thing has always been some attempt to shame labor for doing their jobs. Does that make any sense? Idk, i'm not an mba.
