      People talk about quiet quitting a lot so I looked it up. That just sounds like doing your job without trying to get ahead.

        More like intentionally dragging your team down and making your teammates pick up your slack until management has gone through all the written warning steps required to fire your ass.

          Still their loss, firing you means paying out that severance they tried to dodge by inviting the quiet quitting in the first place

            Not true. If terminated for performance concerns, most companies would consider that “for cause” meaning that you would be ineligible for severance. The only costs are the OpEx of the manager and HR team member’s time in addition to the “lost productivity” that your underperformance caused.
