Ask HN: Quiet Quitting. What did happen to it?

It was never really a thing - it was a term applied to the scenario where an employee does their job, but nothing else. While that might not be the typical attitude in the entrepreneurial world, or in leadership roles... in many other industries and roles, that is simply called "doing your job."

It wasn't new and never left.
