Have you ever felt like you were being edged out of your job with no explanation? Maybe, you were purposely excluded from important decisions or stopped receiving compliments on your work.
These are all signs of a tactic called “quiet firing”. Many companies use this strategy to manage people out of their job without going through the tedious and costly motion of firing them. In this video, we’ll discuss how to identify if you’re being quietly fired and what you can do about it.

Just go. Don't ever let things get to this point. Have an out. Have other income streams. Identify your next opportunity prior to the actual NEED.

My work-load was increased while at the same time, my resources were becoming restricted. In other words, I was set up to fail.

I’m so sorry. I am in the same boat. And then all of my bosses “friends” get to sit around and have fun while everything is getting thrown at me. It’s so sad how companies do these things. I hope you have updated your resume. Hang in there.

I disagree with the comment about networking with other coworkers. Other coworkers are going to look out for themselves. My coworkers are in a clique with each other and the boss and since I’m new, I’m the outsider. Networking with coworkers can cause more damage.

I am convinced that quiet firing is happening more commonly now because the companies have more recently had to put actually competent people in leadership positions lower on the management scale, and the shitty upper management folks are so shit at their jobs that it scares them. I’m seeing this right now, at my own job lmao.

Usually because they want one person to take over more than one area so it’s cheaper for the company or there is a change of management.

Had this in my last place. Minor typos in reports where suddently a huge issue. Or if I only made 3 reports instead of 5 that week, I'd be riddiculed. When previously numbers weren't an issue. It was ever since this new manager started there, who just didn't like me for what ever reason. I just could tell he wanted me gone.

@All - I was pushed into a position where they kept changing the hours I needed to show up, they refused to pick me up, they gave me bare minimum raise, the next year, it was the new minimum wage bare minimum raise. They hadn't transfer my info over, so I walked out. Best quiet firing ever, they were insulting me to my face, however I got the last laugh. I lost 70 pounds that year, and made them all look weak. Keep grinding.

Wow from one day to another my boss and co workers been acting so different. Cold shoulder or over watching what I’m doing. I bought a symphony card for a co worker and the next day that person and everyone else completely changed. Normally I get a hello when I checked in today I was completely ignored. It was so strange is like everyone got the memo to treat me the same. I am the only bilingual there I meet most of my quota so it has to be something so petty like someone just doesn’t like me idk 🤷‍♀️

I felt it coming. The fit wasn’t there. My boss distanced himself or otherwise blew me off without reason. The role was rapidly changing from my hired role to one I wasn’t interested in. I had a great year-end evaluation so I thought I could buy time. Then one day it was over. There was no active or obvious disclosure of a reason other than “we’re going to go our separate ways.” It took about 30 seconds. Done. I received a severance package and that was that. Good riddance!

I saw it coming over the past 18 months. Tried to hang in there-was hoping to make it to 2 years. Got let go last week. Basically got managed out the door by getting job duties cut-unilaterally without warning. Was given a small severance but contract specified I would not file lawsuit.

Oh my gosh this is so sad to me. It’s happening to me now with a new boss and his lazy friends at work who get treated so good and do NOTHING. I even got a list of of what he thinks I need to do and the exact time it would take. 😂😳 and I am the only one in the one department not included in outside activities anymore. Drama. Not good, anyone dealing with this move along. You are better than this.

Since I used to be employed by a local county government agency, and witnessed this type of behavior by management so often prior to the day that they decided to come after me, that I chose to fight the county, unlike many of my victimized coworkers before me. What I had noticed that the agency tended to pick on the employees that tended had been with agency for quite a lot of time, and were approaching the age where they might soon be retiring. So in my case being a public employee as I look back today, I sincerely believe their strategy to use the quiet firing approach in hope the employee would voluntarily leave close to reaching their retirement age, the employee would only be entitled to receive a smaller pension benefit from a defined pension plan than if they had left at their actual age of retirement, but even more importantly not be entitled to receive their free supplemental health insurance benefits upon retiring. Talk about potential cost! But in my case I fought back, and would encourage others in a similar position to do likewise.

In cases particularly like what you've described here I wish these behaviors would be called what they actually are: coercion and harassment. I'm dealing with this now at age 60. I'm being scheduled some brutal hours, and held at much much higher performance standards than my 20 and 30 something colleagues. Asst Director asked for my resignation 7 months ago. I refused and doubled down with my efforts. The only thing that's come of all of this is that it's really highlighted those in the department that are not performing or are doing bare minimum or below it. It never ceases to amaze me that organizations seek to retain under performers and weed out those who put in alot of effort. I'm sticking it out, documenting everything and I have enough savings to retain counsel when the time comes. I won't go quietly.

That sounds like a good case against the employer. At minimum you should get an excellent severance package.

In France, there was a big litigation with France Telecom because they put in place such practices and others, and it drove some employees to suicide. Be careful about your mental health. This was considered harrassment at work, but I found out not all countries have this notion in the law.

Unfortunately, this happens when there is a change in leadership. In with the new while phasing out the old. You most likely will be let go and everything you say or do will just be ignored. It’s not public court . You can’t convince an organization once they’ve made a decision. You also will be the last to know. Best to quietly and quickly start looking for a new job somewhere else.
