Quiet Showdown

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!

Quiet Stealing

The common act of a company/ceo overexerting or forcing workers to work harder or go above and beyond for no additional pay raise or for miniscule "rewards" that do little to help the workers pay for their day to day expenses.
Everyone eroded on about how the "woke" would quiet quit despite never working a day in their lives, while the only reason was the bosses were quiet stealing in all their arrogance to line their pockets better while keeping their shareholders happy

quiet quitting

a slang or slur made by corporation and managers to shame their employee for doing only whats LEGALLY written in contract, and refuse to do overtime for free.

this often was done because corporation and managers cant fire or even sue their employees because by contract, the employees did their duty for the wage they are given.
"can you do this overtime for me?"
"am i getting paid extra for that hour?"
"nope you will have to do it VOLUNTARILY"
"then no"
"so you are quiet quitting?"
