by Quiet quitting is a new name for an old method of industrial action (2022)

Abstract

Quiet quitting is a new name for an old method of industrial action. The idea of putting in just enough effort to not get fired, but without going above and beyond, has a long history in the labour movement. A concept called “work to rule” has been used by workers around the world for centuries, and is a popular method of industrial action in the UK.
