According to my current understanding of “Quiet Quitting” (leaving work on time, no emails on the week-end), I’ve been doing it for the entirety of my 17-year-long-and-counting professional career.
I acknowledge that I am a privileged cishet man so your mileage may vary.

@hypolite That's what you're supposed to do. Only work when you're paid. Believe me, your boss isn't sitting there saying "you know, you were working last weekend when you should have been watching your daughter's softball game, so here's an extra $500".

"Quiet quitting" should be renamed "healthy working", because that's what it is: you do what you're paid to do, and you go home on time.
(I'm terrible at it; I was still mailing a coworker yesterday at 23:45 because I suddenly knew the solution to the problem we were stuck on, and I'm away for the next two weeks while he keeps working during the Christmas break.)
