Quiet quitter

In Industrial and organizational psychology, Quiet quitter refers to “opting out of tasks beyond one’s assigned duties and/or becoming less psychologically invested in work”[1]. An alternative definition is “who competently do the work they’re paid for and then step away to give time and energy to the rest of their life: family, hobbies and other pursuits that make their lives meaningful”[2].
