But it is real. I know many people in that situation.
It's always been a thing. It's just work-life. Throughout history, plenty of people have disengaged, hate there boss, are complete slackers, etc. None of it is new except the millennialistic labeling of it.

Maybe so but those people still worked hard and tried to go the extra mile, Now we are not only disengaged but are doing the bare minimum.

I've been in that position. I'd get my work done then just **** around until my next assignment came in because I wasn't going to give the company extra effort if they couldn't give the employees extra effort.,

I agree with this 100%. Sure, it's happened before. But it just seems much more prevalent now.

I witnessed/experienced quiet quitting in the restaurant biz quite a bit and that was 15-20 years ago. People would find a gig at some other restaurant and just not show up to the current one.

Disengagement wise there's a bunch of ways to do things and if someone has their own way and it's done, there's no reason to be at the office if there's no other work to do.

That's not quiet quitting, at least not how I think of it. That's just quitting/no-showing without telling your employer. Quiet Quitting refers to still keeping your job, but doing the bare minimum to keep it.

Well, you could be posting in Linked In like Tom Luce. (I don't know Tom, I just saw this posted elsewhere).

Nothing worse then having daily/weekly meetings about getting work done. Bonus points for middle of the morning or afternoon that makes you stop what you are working on.
QFT! Have a weekly Thursday 9 am meeting that is solely for a peer to get her nose involved in what the rest of us have going on. Projects she isn't in charge of or involved in, but she needs to know what's going on. Waste of time every week.
