I quiet quit and was quiet fired at same time

[Anonymous]

Any advice?

It seems a micro passive aggressive odd arrangement.

Wild card I rather get laid off. But if fired for a cause type of blow up, no severance and could attempt to claw back some prior stock grants. So can’t get fired that way.

So I am doing bare minimum and my boss is doing stuff giving away work, asking me to leave zoom meetings in middle, stopped status updates. Basically in public group meetings cutting me out. Also cutting me out of info I need to do work. Trying to get me to quit

Now it is a question should I just quit. Pride wise feels better. But at same time why? Is this what all soon to be retired people look forward to. Your last job unless a pension or govt job you want to get laid off with severance and eligible unemployment. But kinda sad to go out that way. No cake or party.

Don't quit- you won't get unemployment.

This. When I was unfairly fired from government contractor, I applied for an unemployment. My contract employer fought my rights to unemployment and we had 3 hearings. My contract employer who fired me was very sneaky and accused me of not doing proper time cards, etc. I never got an unemployment. Luckily, I was hired after 1.5 months back to the government by another contract company. So don't count on an easy unemployment check.

Can you approach the boss and say look, I am not sure if you consider me a good fit for this job, maybe we should talk constructive departure with severance

Was thinking of that. But the reason I don’t like it as only one month severance at work on a performance related mutually agreed termination. However a non mutually agreed lay off I can negotiate into accelerated vesting of some of my grants and maybe a bit more vesting or medical coverage a few extra weeks.

Mutually agreed is called a voluntary leaver so no unemployment. I guess me and boss dance a bit more. Guess this is good practice for retirement.

Is this a communications job? Because you should definitely be fired, I have no idea what you're trying to say.

Isn't the whole point of quiet quitting to get fired? It's like you're playing chicken with your boss, just real quit if you're so miserable.

You are essentially refusing to do your job (you admit yourself you quiet quit) and yet you think your company owes you a severance?! And a longer one than they normally provide?

You definitely deserve to be fired with no severance. The entitlement is amazing.

You deserve to be fired. Doing the bare minimum and...proud of it? Start pulling your weight like the rest of us do, or quit and find something else where you aren't a drag on the company.

+1 beyond being lazy and self-sabotaging you honestly sound uneducated. Your choppy writing style is really off putting. Quit and find a new job and work on your writing.
