This phenomenon describes how some people react to undesirable and uninspiring work situations. This phenomenon is mainly applicable to people working boring, mindless jobs, most of whom perform rote work -- e.g., data entry -- or are paid simply simply for their presence -- e.g., a booth attendant. Activities that constitute 'shutting down' and checking out' include: napping, reading, sending excessive/unnecessary text messages, and listening to one's iPod.
Elliott: I'm surprised Tom hasn't gotten more sleep today -- doesn't he have to work the graveyard shift tonight?
Mark: Yeah, but remember, he's a booth attendant in the middle of the night...he's just going to Show up, Shut down, Clock in and Check out.

Get the Shut it down mug.Shut down is a psuedonym for sucking dick. This psuedonym is used to be more descreet about one's actual intended meaning and to get past profanity filters on social media. Shut refers to the closing action of the mouth, and down is borrowed from the slang "going down", which means to have oral sex.
