2. "Quiet quitting, in other words, is not really about quitting. It's more like a philosophy for doing the bare minimum at your job. In Japan, there's a concept called shokunin (職人), which refers to an artisan who is deeply dedicated to their craft, always striving for perfection in what they make. Quiet quitting is like the opposite of that. It's about divorcing your ego from what you do for a living and not striving for perfection. Setting boundaries and simply completing the tasks you're supposed to complete within the time that you're paid to do them — with no extra frills. No more kowtowing to your boss or customers. No more working nights and weekends, incessantly checking your email. Workaholism is out. Coasting is in. Call it the worklife balance manifesto."
