If going from 50-60 hour weeks down to 40 hour weeks is what quiet quitting is... then what the hell have I been doing with 40 hour weeks?

If you are working over 40 hours on salary you are basically working for less pay!

Example 100k USD/y salary:

40h ~= 50.00 USD/h
45h ~= 44.44 USD/h
50h ~= 40.00 USD/h
55h ~= 36.36 USD/h
60h ~= 33.33 USD/h
