  • Quiet firing 👀 aka when your employer wants you to quit!
    Quiet quitting was a big topic a few weeks ago, and that got people talking about quiet firing - and this one’s all about the employer.
    Quiet firing = an employer creating a bad work environment so that an employee will quit themselves. Have you ever felt like this was happening to you at work? Let us know!

    @Actinia_23 Год назад +101

    It happens frequently in many workplaces. The workplace doesn’t want to fire you per se they want you to quit. But if you don’t quit, they’ll keep giving you unreasonable expectations setting the bar higher and higher and then blaming you when you can’t achieve it. When they do eventually get around to firing you they’ll use these failures as the reason. This happened to my mom when she worked for WCB. She knew they were trying to get rid of her, but she held out and made them fire her, then negotiated a payout which was the equivalent of a year’s salary which sustained her until she found a new position.
    It’s bit of a despicable practice but many places get away with it. It’s usually the workplaces that claim they’re “like a family “

    Yes, this actually did happen to me at the last place I worked at. There was a change in management so things were a bit chaotic at the start, which most employees gave a pass for. However, the new manager soon started targeting specific employees to make them quit. And it was employees who usually kept their heads down and did their jobs. So a very toxic work environment became the norm. The only employees who WEREN'T targeted were those that kissed up to management. Joining in the attacks on the targeted employees. Stirring the toxic waste pot.
    Those of us who were targeted, did quit. But we also got the last laugh as we all found new jobs that were so much better and in healthy work environments elsewhere.

A LOT of employees quit because of her, but I hung on for another year to show her that it would not be that easy, but even I got sick of her shit. Oh, and no one could say that I was a "bad employee" either. I was one of their best sellers. I could get some of the biggest cheapskates to buy things and wasn't afraid to make customers understand that they are not there to "just look". I kept conversion and sales up as well. I also covered shifts when employees were quitting left and right. Sometimes the manager is just a Summer's Eve.

    I had a boss that was trying to force me out. I kept meeting her demands, and was there far longer than she wanted. The rest of my team quit, and I stayed a little bit longer until there were new employees hired. She wound up dressing me down loudly one day after one of them asked me a question and I was explaining what the current process was. The boss wanted the new employees to completely recreate every process that was in place to suit their desires. I frustrated her so badly because I didn't quit when the rest of the team did.
    I wound up leaving the job, about a month later and moved out of state. I found out she "retired" 3 months later, but not before her new hires also bailed.

It all comes down to how you value yourself and how smartly you get things done; and most importantly, create an aura around you of someone who gets results, but isn't someone to be triffled with or played around with. 15 years of career woth cou tkess promotions, title changes in various firms and industries, and haven’t worked a single day where I worked even a minute more than my stated hours or worked over the weekend; neither did anyone ever ask me to do so.

I begged for 6 months or more that I was overwhelmed and I couldn't do everything, read every email, attend every meeting, etc. Meetings all day, working on assignments until midnight, going to sleep just to wake in a panic that I need to do something I forgot. Boss too busy to help or care, though she talked a good game. I ended up making 2 major mistakes but I had no clue until people started yelling. I was put on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). I was so happy they fired me but it pissed me off how they did it. I literally had PTSD afterwards: waking up in a panic in the middle of night thinking I missed sending/reading an email, that I forgot to prepare for projects/meetings, didn't do something, etc. So glad I don't work there and they definitely 'quiet fired' me but it was so wrong after working at the company for 10 years.

Since they really dont know how to do the job they were pushed into, their performance tanks while trying to learn the basics. This is then used as the reason for termination of said employee AND is used in justification of hiring outside the company instead of an internal transfer (which is probably what they wanted to do in the first place because they had someone in mind but got told no).

Mind you, I worked 8 years at that place; changing positions from the bottom up. Constantly being a top performer and seller. Even started management training (which I refused because of salary and hours required), but being a bartender was more flexible and financially wise.
    After a year of abuse, I was fired last week. “Speaking with ill intend about the company to a possible new hire candidate”, the most bulls*** reason.

For any other similar projects, I wanted: 1 wks notice, triple-time pay for the hours I worked doing the project, & the next work-day off with regular pay." He agreed to all my demands.
    The second time, I shot my manager a dirty look, & she drop that subject, & moved on to something else.
    Guys & Gals, know your worth & advocate for yourself! Also, if an assignment isn't part of your original work contract responsibilities, eg: working before, after, or just more hours than your original contracted hours, you have the right to say "no", & your bosses can't do anything about it.

    It happened to me. You see they start by making you question yourself. And make you doubt your own abilities. They will ask you to quit on your own. And when you refuse they will make your job harder. They will make you afraid of making the slightest mistakes in fear of being written up. At first they will say that these write ups aren’t that serious and it’s just a way to coach you on how to do better. They will even tell you what to write in it and what to take out of it. Then they will use all those write ups they got you to make and bring you in front of a shop Stuart saying that you wrote these in your own words.
    And the worst part is what they’re doing will ruin you as a person. Strip away your confidence forever. But they don’t care because they succeeded in making you resign. And they don’t have to deal with the outcome.
    I didn’t know evil existed until this happened

    I actually had this problem recently. The sous chef at my job was taking over for the head chef, and she had me working 50+ hrs a week after just barely testing negative for COVID after having COVID. Not only that, but I ended up with a respiratory virus and fevers for the entirety of 2 weeks afterwards, and I was constantly verbally @bused and threatened with pay cut/severe hour cuts because I was just getting worse and worse. The final straw was when I called to let her know that I was going to be about an hour or so late because I had a flat tire and had to scramble for change so I could take the bus to work. She literally cussed me out and belittled me saying that someone my age shouldn't be so sick all the time and that it was ridiculous that I was struggling so much. I quit that very same day and told them I wouldn't be coming in for my 2 week notice.
    Of course, I felt bad because the head chef was forced to put off his quitting to make up for the fact that the sous chef chased me off the way she did, but I dont feel bad. I don't care what people say... No one deserves any form of @buse at work.

    First major job out of college. It started gradually, an hour here, a couple in one week. By the time it got the worst, I was worked through the company Christmas party without help. Eventually, I had enough. I was gradually taking things home so, if they fired me, I would not have to carry much. I heard that I was being let go the day before they were going to do it. I wrote a resignation letter just to have it with me. So, the following morning I came in and was called into the office as I knew I would be. As they fired me, I said I was feeling the same way and that I had my letter. I didn't give it to them because you can't collect unemployment insurance when you quit. I was smart and thanked them, got up and left.

    I had a version of this, but it wasn’t about forcing us to quit. The boss over committed the organization to a workload easily three times too big for the staff capacity given the timelines they agreed to in contract. The result was near total organizational burn out and an extremely high turn over rate that offloaded work onto remaining staff. Emotional manipulation, threats of firing, threats against professional reputation, and screaming were normal forms of management. I made it a year and a half before taking a 30% pay cut to switch organizations. Since leaving, the staff has turned over nearly three times in three years.

    This actually happened to me about 6 years ago. At the beginning of the year, I was asked by a VP to move to a new office overtown for a couple months so I could get training and have a promotion. When I got there, I basically filled in for my regular job, no training, no opportunity to develop new skills. I stayed for 8 months and then asked to move back to my first office. Then I got the silent treatment, got more work to support the second team. I was told that I could be more useful there after all. When I said that I had no intention to move permanently, the silent treatment got worse. I was left out of mail chains, internal calls and such, which led to important mistakes, and was ultimately terminated. Yet they made me the favor to "abolish my position" so it would not look bad for future job interviews.

I had a great reputation and she knew as well how good I was. She tried to do this nonsense. I documented and did tasks that could get done within the time frame. The rest I told HR were given last min. Obviously HR is involved with them. They knew I was not going to quit so gave up and gave a nice long package..Went on a nice trip and got some time off.

If she treated her employees properly she wouldn't have had to deal with me, one of her best employees with literally ZERO reasons to fire who could word things in such a way to point out when she mistreated me or other employees in such a way you couldn't lable it as disrespect....but we ALL knew what I meant😎 Also she self sabotaged herself because she literally pissed off her first shift SO MUCH that they all left within a week...And by then her acting a bit nicer to the other shifts temporarily was not enough to convince us to do her any favors!😆It took her two whole months to rebuild her staff and she was scrambling for any poor souls willing to stay later.

      I was recently fired for being late to work because I had a dizzy spell right before. Nobody asked any questions until they decided to write up. I didn't want to give any excuses cause this was sudden and I felt I wouldn't be trusted.
      Message recieved, don't put the team first. It was difficult to work for 3 days. Guess I should have called out and left you to handle it.

My boss got angry and hung up on me when I told her that I could not make it in🤣 But she called back a few minutes later to tell me that I needed a doctor's note the next day. I got the note but regardless of the circumstance it still violated the attendance policy. So even though it was the only time in two/three years working at this fast food place without any attendance issues I was going to sign the written warning given to me...until I read it fully and she lied on the form and said that I never called and therefore was a no call no show🤦‍♀️ I basically told her that since we both know this is a lie AND SHE hung up on me, that if she wanted to stick with this I was going to pull up my recipes from my phone company. Otherwise I told her that if she wanted to rewrite the right up honestly with what actually happened, then I would sign it...She never brought it back up!🤣 It was a temporary win though because she pulled that same shit again a few months later, but this time just made a very broad statement that I had not followed her specific instructions...which was bs because I did, she just didn't like that executing her orders exactly ended in poor production results😑. I didn't have the patience to fight it again and figured I'd be fired if I argued because THEN she could use me refusing to sign that written warning as "refusing to follow instructions"🙄 long story short I quit a month or two after that

    This happened to me. A newly assigned manager made my life miserable. I was working 16 hr days, would be on-site, come home and eat and then log back on until 10 or 11pm. She ended up letting me go, saying I wasn’t getting my work done and that I was making mistakes. Most of the mistakes were from lack of her knowledge, she was a new manager who wrote me up for stuff she should have known. I wrote a standard operating procedure, from scratch on this important process that involved so many different departments. I personally met with all of them to ensure quality. Then took my work, said I didn’t do it. Made some tracked changes with her friends name on it. Used that to be the cherry on top to let me go, promoted her friend. I had only been there for 1.5 years to her 6+ years. I had no recourse with HR. They believed her 100%. No matter what proof I had.
