I know someone who was with a company 25 years and they did not want to pay the full pension she was entitled to so they cut her hours to part time thinking she would quit. When she didn't they had her down to one day a week and finally two days a month. They ended up firing her, she sued for unemployment and discrimination and won - she had all dates and events documented.

If you do”just your job”, you’re considered worthless!! If you go “above and beyond”, you’re considered a threat.

Remember it's not always that you are a bad employee. Sometimes you are a great employee, and you are wasting your time in the organization you feel stuck in. There are bad companies that use people unfairly. Mostly they have the upper hand while you are employed there.

The secret to life is go where you're appreciated.

[techguy]

It’s just safe to always assume your company is trying to fire you. Never take it for granted.

This happened to me two weeks ago. I resigned after a verbal cue from my supervisor questioning my productivity (I'm an internal recruiter). My last day will be this Friday and will start my next job next week. Not only did my salary increased significantly, I also got additional bonuses based on my new contract. Always look after yourself more than the company you are working for.

My company tried that a few years ago. I documented everything. The quiet firing got louder when the manager started getting personal and abusive. I complained about the manager to HR and I was fired. I sued. I won a $60k settlement out of court a year later.

[peterlightning]

I've seen all kinds of things. The funniest situation I've seen is when they are really hard on you and unfair to you, so you'll quit. Then later on you pop back up working in a different department that affects your old department. It never crossed those people's minds that another department might want you when they were treating you poorly. So, the look on their faces when you come walking in representing a different department is priceless. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Quiet firing is harassment and called a hostile work environment.

At 64, and an old foot soldier, I’ve been through this scenario more than once.
I love it when toxic employers say “people don’t get fired, they fire themselves”. Yeah right.

[Colichemarde]

This happened to me. I was working as a manager at a very large company. After about a year, I started getting all the "signs" that I wouldn't be around long. I turned in my 2-week notice and suddenly my boss wouldn't speak with me . She was always somewhere else and avoided me. Weird. On my last day she called me into her office and told me she absolutely HATED the company, hated her job and didn't speak with me because she was jealous that I could just walk away from this Hell Hole company and leave her. I was polite and professional. I thanked her, turned in my company property and quietly slipped out the back door never to return.

I experienced this at a famous US American corporation. Luckily I had the stamina to stick (and a good lawyer). Eventually they fired me for no reason after playing games with me for years. I dragged them to court and sued them for wrongful termination. They had to pay a six-figure severance pay to me.

[LuisA-smon]

Each time I felt “shunned, ” “ignored, ” or “passed up, ” I sent an email to HR (never a reply) - so when I resigned, I applied for unemployment. My employer contested it saying it was a voluntary separation- I submitted copies of all my emails with a narrative of the situation and was awarded unemployment benefits.

[ericknoblauch]

This happened to a co worker who I worked for once in the same department. She was being quiet fired. The next thing I saw her doing on the company computer was looking for, and applying for other jobs all on the time clock, and company time. They did not give her any work to do so she used that time to look for a way out. When another job did come to her, she just got up and left. As she left, she told the manager where he could stick his job, and said she now has another one. As for the rest of us we could not stop laughing. Six months later, we also found other jobs too.

Being fired is a great experience. It makes you much more antifragile. I was fired three times. But don’t think I am a looser. I am 36 and I have a 6 figure salary with big benefits.

My experience:
1. Analyse what you did wrong, don’t blame an employer. If you selected a bad employer, it’s your mistake. Blaming employer won’t make you rich.
2. Immediately start searching a new job, don’t waste time trying your own business just because you think nobody will hire you.
3. Everyday spend some time on self improvement so that when you are fired you are ready for interviews.
4. Don’t decrease your salary expectations because of decreased self esteem. You passed an interview once, so you can pass on a higher salary again.

People, if they try this with you, just quit and find a new job. As much as i like the idea of documenting everything and suing, i believe that our mental peace and self respect are the most important things! And i would let karma do its job and move on and find my happiness elsewhere. I know its easier said than done, but believe me, toxic bosses have to live with themselves and they are going to destroy themselves eventually 😂

[JulAlxAU]

My supervisor made it like hell for me and I know he wished me to resign. I in return raised a bullying and harassment case against him and got the company to change my reporting line. Stand up to bullies. Don’t grant them their wish by resigning. Stand up and fight.

[rejectwokeness]

The part on workload is true. If the boss likes you, they would want to protect you from work. Because we all know the ones getting promoted are not the ones who work hardest or most capable but it's those who the bosses like most. The workhorses are just used up and spat at.

[egrace]

Retired teacher here. We had a student who was diagnosed with severe depression and suicidal. This kid was a real physical danger to other students. They were disruptive regularly and would harm classmates (stab w pencils, trip, pinch with sharp nails, instigate fights). The district hr had 'trainings' on empathy toward this student and then wanted our team to sign a form stating 'we received training' on this situation...to cover their butt. If this student did anything dangerous, it would be the team's/instructor's fault. Period. None of us signed. F--- HR.

I was an OTR trucker for a company. They started overriding my approved home time continuously. I took one home time anyway due to exhaustion. I knew my time was short and found another great job. I quit. They called four months later trying to talk me into coming back. I refused.
