It’s basically just individual slow-downs without any organized worker action. I am skeptical that it even exists as a real trend, but anyone promoting it as “praxis” is getting sucked into bourgeois individualist ideology in a knee-jerk reaction.
Things like strikes and slow downs only work when they are organized and have demands.
I’m not saying you have to slave away for your boss, I am not saying it’s bad to do a “quiet quitting” slow-down, go for it. It’s just not political or praxis or revolutionary. And if you are actively involved in organizing, I recommend doing a competent job so you can’t be fired easily, and any retaliation would be easier to prove

The cool thing about sandbagging is if you unionize you can easily work a bit more afterward and make it harder for management to create pretexts
