What you call “quiet quitting” IS putting in the work. You even said it yourself - it’s doing exactly what is expected of you.
What you call “showing initiative” is allowing yourself to be ruled by the whims of a wannabe master. If they wanted you to do more, they should have put that in the job description. And if there’s still work to be done, they should have hired another person. 1 can’t do the work of 2.
I actually thought you were joking until the last sentence
Get off your knees, you slave

That mentality only works if you believe your job is the only way you can achieve anything in life.

I have initiative, I just don’t waste it on wannabe kings
