Considering the article specifically mentions Japan, and that typical Japanese work culture is quite literally the opposite of what I’ve observed, I think this is very related.
It is an interesting anecdote that was worth sharing, but quiet quitting employees underperform and do the bare minimum while watching the seconds until the end of their shift. Your teams are doing the opposite.
Underperforming = being unproductive enough that you get yelled at
Don’t agree with this definition. In a group, half the people will be underperforming and half will be overperforming. Yelling is not at all guaranteed.
But we do agree that if you do less than the bare minimum then you do get shouted at.

You can’t say employees are both doing the bare minimum and underperforming. It doesn’t make sense.
A person doing the bare minimum underperforms the average worker.
Makes sense to me.
No, no, no. Two concepts.
Doing the bare minimum = being productive enough that you don’t get yelled at Underperforming = being unproductive enough that you get yelled at
It’s not possible to do both.

So you think it’s literally impossible for a group of people to all be performing well? I disagree.
Take the worst person in that group. They are underperforming.
