When true-believer employees stand around talking ecstatically to each other about how great the company is because of the "amazing work" they did; this typically creates a toxic smugness that pollutes the rest of the workplace.
Guy 1: Those dudes are being so loud - I can't even focus on my work.
Guy 2: Right? I can't believe they're still circle working over that sale they landed last month. It wasn't even that big of a deal.

Typically instead of a standard burnout at a set of lights or a stop sign, or perhaps at an intersection in front of a small group of people, “circle work” is kept for such occasions when a large group of people is available to view the display. The vehicle owner doesn’t just do a burnout. They try to burn that clutch and tyre tread down as much as possible whilst slowly spinning the car in circles so they can still a) view the audience, and b) not choke to death on the clouds of rubber smoke being churned up from the tyres.
They have degenerated into muddy, rum-soaked, all-night drinking sessions, complete with circle work by hungover ute drivers the following morning.

A type of labor action, somewhere between normal working conditions and a strike, where workers will do only what the collective bargaining agreement requires them to do, and nothing more, such as refusing to work overtime. It is a pressure tactic, designed to get an employer back to the bargaining table to hammer out a new contract acceptable to the employees. Also known as quiet quitting.
When teachers were not getting what they were asking for during contract talks, they went on work-to-rule, suspending extracurricular activities and after class student meetings.
