CMV: 'Quiet Quitting' is not revolutionary.

This is not me arguing about whether or not 'quiet quitting' is ethical.  This is me arguing that it's not a revolutionary movement.  It's always existed.  We just created a label for it. 

Quiet quitting in concept is not new.  It's very odd to me how it's getting portrayed as this workplace revolution. 

Throughout history around the world,  there have always been people who don't do extra at work.  I'm actually one of them! 

 I show up and do the job that I'm paid to do at a high level.  I don't work overtime. But I take my job very seriously.  I've been told several times that my numbers are higher than those of my fellow teammates. I'm happy to hear that.  

But I very rarely do anything out of my job description.  Why?  Because I believe that if my employer is going to ask me for more than what my job entails, then I deserve compensation for that.  I signed a contract for what I have agreed to do. I refuse to get manipulated into doing more than that. 
I don't get stressed at work this way. I put my mental health above that. 

I understand that what I have described above is not exactly quiet quitting. But I'm trying to illustrate that none of this is new. It's not a revolution.  Every office or workplace has a person who does it.

Many people in isolation performing a behaviour is common. A new word which defines and explains that behaviour can represent a connection, a new mutual understanding. Where previously everyone was moving in different directions suddenly they are doing this things "together" but still apart. The presence of terminology shapes that reality. It helps something mundane transcend.
