Victimhood mentality, the new pandemic...

I dealt with this prior and a bit during the pandemic to the point where I couldn’t handle the chronic stress, but I got lucky enough to get out of that department in 2021 and save myself from quitting due to having a bad manager using psychological warfare and passive-aggressive tactics (favouritism, nepotism, unfair shift time changes, etc) he tried almost everything with a smile and an excuse. I can't believe I lasted 3.5 years under that manager. Don't give in whenever you know you're being pushed (smoked) out to the point where you're losing your sanity, try to do so on your terms and in the safest way possible, if you gotta get away from a toxic boss/manager who's trying to quietly make you quit.

My boyfriend is being quiet fired right now. He's been at the organization for 15 years and most of his subordinates are making more than him! I've never seen or heard of such a thing. It pains me so much, but his personality doesn't help the situation. While he's extremely hardworking and knowledgeable, he can be quite blunt and by-the-book. The other leaders & supervisors are spineless who slack off and cover for each other. They have the title but don't do the job, which is so common nowadays. I wish he wasn't so invested that he could easily walk away.

Bullying is illegal there should be criminal charges. Then it would stop.

This is a stupid issue. If someone doesn’t want to do extra work it is called just doing your job. It also means you probably won’t get a bonus, extra shifts, overtime pay, or promotions. But if someone was to do more or “go the extra mile” at work it means you probably means the supervisor and boss seeing value in the employee would want to keep them by increase wages, extra work, and promotion. But to expect a promotion when they are competing against all the other workers there for doing the basic level seems foolish. If I went to work standard hours never lifting a finger for extra work I would expect my pay check and nothing else. However if I did extra work, took extra shifts, went the extra mile and someone else got promotion who just did the basic work. I would be looking for a new job that day. There is no point in working at a place who does not reward extra work. Just like it would make no sense to expect extra benefits just for doing basic work. There is nothing wrong with just doing the work you are assigned with the time stated. There is a disconnect if you expect a promotion is automatically given just for showing up though.

I am going through this now and I can tell you that it affects my whole life. Panic and anxiety attacks at work and at home. No sleep the nights before work, constant migraines and neck pain, emotional distress, isolation, and complete exile from everyone else. Even bosses not responding to request for help, giving the wrong info, and making me wait 30-40 minutes for responses that used to take 2-5. My boss won’t even speak to me. This has been going on for years. But really amped up when I made a complaint to hr a week ago and a request for a reasonable accommodation to work from home 4 days a week instead of 2. I don’t know what to do or how much longer I can take it.

So business as usual then? Quiet firing happened before quiet quitting. I mean that's why quiet quitting exist.

Quiet firing is an old practice. As a manager, I’ve done this in the past. It’s not new. When your being treated like crap at work, your manager is trying to get rid of you.

COVID and Pandemic really did a number on the workplace. My previous employment the whole management staff was let go. I was a manager as well but I was spared but eventually a year later the new management quiet fired me because I spoke up about things at the workplace. No leader likes an employee that speaks their mind no matter how good of an employee you are. They like people they can control and wouldn't question them.

Quiet firing is a made up buzz word for actions that have been happening for a long time, company management setting the employee for failure in bullying and harassment by the use of false documentation against the employee.. It's just being done more in regards to TRYING to counter current trends. Also to note, the repeated documentation about the false claims that the company makes against the employee, can be used for legal backing IF needed to protect the companies (false) firing of the employee. Some states in the U.S.A. have laws about the firing of employees that can protect the employee. Also bullying and harassment that is also the case. Also know, that some states are "right to work" states, that companies don't need ANY sort of hard documented reasons, so make sure you research the state laws where you live. Quiet Quitting is the result of companies taking advantage of and asking too much of their employees and giving them very little in return, for the extra efforts that they have done. The companies burn out their employees, and it is actually the companies fault.. Not really a "Gen Z" issue at all. If you keep getting pulled into office meetings for things that are NOT your fault, know that you are being targeted and it may be a great time to either save up a lot of money to live off of and for legal representation OR find yourself another job and just move forward. Unfortunately, there are always very wicked people out there that work for companies that are 100% cruel to their employees.. That's the real world we live in.

Well lets get ready for an even worse labor shortage.

This has been going on for years its just now they put a name to it. Wanna promotion act dumb and lazy and watch the promotions come. Easy way to counter stop showing loyalty to a job and never stop looking for something better.

Sounds fair to me.

This is nothing new. It’s just got a new name. But for the under 30 crowd it is cause they don’t have the life experience to know.

It's absurd to suggest talking to HR. If an environmental enables such conduct, HR is part of the problem. What's needed in the US is reform of unemployment law.
