A previous post defined quiet firing as employers refusing to give raises for years despite employees doing everything that is asked of them and more. In essence, they will allow inflation to give you paycuts until you can no longer afford to work at their company anymore. So have you ever been quietly fired before?
I was quietly fired a few years ago at a job that I started in 2016. By 2020 I was earning less than a dollar more an hour than when I started. My lesson from this experience was that the only way to get a decent raise was not to do my job well, but to leave for a better job elsewhere as often as possible.
