The phrase "5 MERCURY!!! QUIET!!!!!", is a phrase that is used in the school of OB Montessori Center by the Grade 5 class officers of the section "5-Mercury". This phrase is used to show dominance in the classroom of this specific class, because it is used to make people quiet. Some people are annoyed of it, some overusing it, and some don't care.

When you're being quiet fired but you respond by quiet quitting instead of quitting outright, playing a prolonged game of chicken to see which of you or your employer will be the first to flinch.
My employer gave me a 0% pay increase this year while saddling me with new impossible responsibilities in hope of coercing attrition, but I just hunkered down and performed consistently below my competency level, working to rule for my inflation-adjusted salary. This is now a quiet showdown. You can't quiet fire me. I quiet quit!

Where a fast food restaurant open late at night is actually not taking orders. Usually because all the workers just don’t want to take orders.

Quiet retiring is the same as quiet quitting except the individual is working towards retirement and they are tired of putting in all the extra work and getting nothing more or earning anything more. This fall for someone that’s within 1 to 5 years of retirement from there career and even possibly 10 years depending on their job and or age.
Person one: I’ve noticed Paul has been slowing now and just getting by with the workload.
Person two: Yeah, he’s quiet retiring now. He’s just a few years away from the gold watch.
