Let’s talk about QUIET FIRING

Just happened to see dr Phil’s episode on quite quitting and it was just such utter bullshit (which, I guess, was to be expected from that show). But in light of the crazy inflation I wish we could turn the conversation to what I would call quiet firing.

Just happened to see dr Phil’s episode on quite quitting and it was just such utter bullshit (which, I guess, was to be expected from that show).

But in light of the crazy inflation I wish we could turn the conversation to what I would call quiet firing. If you are not getting regular raises that match inflation then you are effectively getting less pay for the same job – and less value from what you were supposed to get from your employer when you first entered into the employment relationship.

In truth, if not doing more than you’re being paid for is labelled quiet quitting, then not getting random bonuses for no extra work should already be considered the equivalent of quiet quitting from the employer’s side, a.k.a QUIET FIRING.

However, as I don’t consider myself or this community stupid a’holes like the authors behind the current use of ‘quiet quitting’, I’ll take reasonable approach of claiming that if you’re not getting regular raises to match the rise in COL, you are effectively being paid less and less and we should label that QUIET FIRING and you should look for the next and better opportunities.

Here’s my take on it on yt as well if anyone is interested in listening: https://youtu.be/YeHoOOQBZ6Q
