There's a lot of buzz at the moment about a new workplace trend called "quiet quitting." This trend is a bit of a misnomer, however, because it's not really about quitting at all. Instead, it's about sticking to the work in your job description and setting boundaries, while opting out of things like being available 24/7 and taking on extra unpaid work.
In response to the quiet quitting trend popping up literally everywhere, some people are pointing out that employers have long been guilty of "quiet firing", also known as "managing out." Basically, this means they intentionally make your work-life difficult and unpleasant until you quit.
So if you've ever been quiet fired or managed out of a job, we want to hear your story.Maybe you worked at a restaurant, and after a minor personal disagreement with a manager, you noticed that instead of five shifts a week you were suddenly down to only one or two. You tried picking up shifts and hustling harder, but they just wouldn't give you enough hours. So you ended up quitting as soon as you found another job.
