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!

Get the Quiet Showdownmug. 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.
5 MERCURY!!! QUIET!!!!! THE TEACHER IS DOING SOMTHING AND IS OUTSIDE! BE QUIET AND SIT DOWN OR WE'LL WRITE YOU ON THE LIST!

Get the 5 MERCURY!!! QUIET!!!!!mug. Any facet of Home improvements that are painstakingly attempted before dawn. Indictive of a man tweaking whose up all night .Carpentry done with keeping the noise down as a priority because everyone else is sleeping. A tweaker who has a knack for doing carpentry in his home between the hours of 12 am and 7 am , thus resulting in scattered small jobs with at best sub par results.
Since the pandemic the 24 hour hardware store in Manhattan has been closed overnight . What a drag for my beloved Quiet Carpentry.
