Tell Us About The Moment That Made You "Quiet Quit" Your Job
Lately, there's been a lot of talk about "quiet quitting." Basically, it's a term that describes when you decide to stop going "above and beyond" (aka overworking yourself) for your job, and simply do what's required of you. Nothing more, nothing less.

Or maybe the last straw was when you were visiting a loved one in the hospital (on the weekend, not even during the work week), and your manager had the gall to email you and say, "I know your brother's in the hospital, but..."
