In general, I don't think there's anything wrong with having strong work boundaries but only if you're absolutely resigned to not making any progress in your career. I don't think that anybody who immediately logs off after their 8 hours are up can expect to be noticed by their manager in a positive way.

@OP. I'm not clear on why you would post just dribble. The title of your post is Thoughts on Quiet Quitting and then you fill the body of your post with nonsense about employees expecting/hoping for promotions without working off the clock to be noticed. Huh? First, i dont think there is anyone in claims that works an 8 hour day and then leaves, you wouldn't be able to keep up and would be let go. 2nd most people don't have an issue with putting in extra time.... THEY JUST EXPECT TO BE PAID FOR IT!! especially when the company constantly posts billion dollar profits and has the most highly compensated incompetent executives in the industry. I'm just not sure what your trying to say here.
Setting reasonable boundaries won’t work at Allstate because it takes 10 hour days just to do the bare minimum. In claims, not making contacts and getting closures will put you on “lists” and these are to be avoided at all costs.
Why would anyone go above and beyond for any company in this day and age? All of your "Please notice me Daddy!" efforts aren't going to save you if laying you off will make their share price or executive bonuses go up .025%.
That sums up the life of an Allstate claim rep- pathetic
What's the point? They only use you until they don't need you anymore then fire your a**
