Unpaid overtime.
Framing "fulfilling your contract" as "silent quitting".
In what other context would be "delivering what's in the contract" anything less than satisfactory?
When I buy a litre of milk and the box contains exactly a litre of milk it isn't "silent stealing" either.
Unpaid overtime is usually illegal too. Highly depends on your position though. A lot of software engineers are marked as exempt when they shouldn't be.
The annoying thing is, depending on your job and financial situation, it hardly matters whether it's illegal or not. I'm not talking about my comfortable situation as a software engineer, but rather people working crap jobs and not having alternatives.
If you know, you'll be out of work for longer if you get fired, you basically cannot report any illegal stuff your employer is doing.
