Our company is pretty big on encouraging a good work/life balance and made an effort to encourage people to log off at the end of the day since working working from home makes it easier to work late or reply to emails all the time.

Agreed. But when I think work to rule I think of unions (not meant to be a negative connotation) and working exactly to the letter of the contract. Now it seems as though salaried employees are also beginning to do the same if quiet quitting is a thing.

It's a big enough issue that HR is trying to figure out what to do.
There's also a sense of O&G just not being the industry it once was, so people have left the industry all together, more than I've ever seen in my time here.
One last point, when I joined the company 10 years ago, employees at that time seemed to be a lot more loyal to the company than today. Where as now, there's a culture shift and employees are making changes that suit their lifestyle and values. Whether that's exiting the work force, or going to a competitor, there's a definitive impact across the board.

The energy industry (all sectors) has nobody to blame but themselves for this. They have repeatedly demonstrated zero loyalty to their employees, chopping jobs by the thousands when times are tough.
