The person who came up with the phrase “quiet quitting” took the effort to incorporate alliteration, which made the phrase catchy.

In my opinion, “furtively fired” — and its noun form, “furtive firing” — sound much better, are grammatically correct, and employ an underused word.

Amen! I just took the trouble myself to look up a synonym for covert or disguised, landing on Furtive. Like u said, it’s the alliteration. Don’t know if using ‘quiet firing’ is lazy, but it certainly isn’t as eye-/ear-catching as Furtive Firing. Thank you for sharing one of my irks!
