It's doing the minimum that's required. That's fine.
I don't advocate going overboard. I leave work at 3pm to be with my kids. But I'm passionate about my job and if I need to do something extra I try to be as available as possible.
I don't want to work in a 9 to 5 place where I have a fixed set of expectations. I want to feel that what I do matters. The thing is, my employer is loyal to me by letting me leave when I need to even though he stays there until 10pm.

I'm not sure what that means. You like being asked to do things that are not within your job description? You don't want to have a job description? Something else?
I think it irks me that it's been called "quitting" at all. People are "silently not allowing themselves to be driven to burn out" is probably more accurate.
Perhaps the people like us who work for companies that value their employees are the lucky ones.
My specific job is fluid. I'm a developer advocate so the job description is so vague. I love that my managers just trust me to do the "right thing" and always have. It's not about hours, it's about a relationship. It doesn't mean you need to give up work life balance.
I think the term is something that people who do it came up with. I agree, it doesn't represent the actual state of mind.
I very much appreciate the luck I've had in jobs over the years. But some of that luck is due to spirit. I rarely interview. Almost every job I ever held was through a person who knew me from a previous job and brought me in. So I think I made at least some of my luck.
