Advent of Internet, communication have gone through a rapid change.
With mobile phones, photo capture, messaging and video features, communication has become real time. This change benefits employers more than the workers.
They are now capable of tormenting their workers beyond official working hours and insist on "proof of work/excuses". All these without increase on salary. WORK has become life for this generation. Mandatory long working hours (12 hours), additional job after working hours without overtime (enabled via some section in Employment Act), undertaking job outside the scope of work, proactive and teamwork crap.
What the Gen Z is doing is right and it is the employer who should rethink on how to use their employees. Slavery of the past have resurfaced in modern era through technology.

Gone are the days where fresh graduates are getting peanuts and employers expect them to work beyond their scope!
That's why you see majority no longer interested to further their studies! I don't blame them! Education is free, degree is paid! And degree nowadays, in fact even decades ago are useless! The difference between those who are getting high pay and low pay is cable! If you come from T20 family, chances of you getting employ with super high pay is very good! If you come from B40 even with excellent result, you degree is useless! In fact many of those T20 children didn't even bother to study during their undergrad! Why because, they can pay for their degree!

Every individual's life is unique. Ambition and purpose differ. Employers tend to put all in the same mould and expect outcome, simply because they are the paying master to the "slave". Quiet quitting is necessary if an employee feels that he/she feels shortchanged. Aspiration for advancement is definitely beyond their expectation, therefore the revolt is justified.

Sure! If there's a huge prospect of upward potential and salary increment, please, work hard at it!
But let's be honest! In chinaman companies, you are expected to do elephant work for peanuts! Your chinaman boss has huge expectation of you despite paying you the minimum salary! Unless you work there to gain experience, staying and expecting things to get you better remunation is out of the question!

If you work in those whiteman companies, you are sure to be paid handsomely! Come on, don't lie! Those who work in Nestle, Carlsberg, those tobacco companies are getting 5 figure salary easily! So yeah, between chinaman vs whiteman company, the choice is obvious!
