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.

This is not happening “at the same time” as your title suggests. This is cause an a effect, bozo. You quiet quit and now your employer is acknowledging that by bypassing you because they know they can’t count on you. How’s it feel to be that colleague that everyone knows they can’t count on? The office do-nothing slacker. How were you raised with zero work ethic?

Excuse me, the tense of “quiet quit” is obviously “quiet quat.” It’s a strong German verb. “Quiet quit,” “quiet quat,” “quiet quut.”

+1 I posted above.. OP did this to themselves with their passive aggressive quiet quitting.

I get it, OP. I'm 52. I wish I could quit, but I have college to pay for 2x over. But, I'm done with the corporate world.

However, if you work in a team, and people depend on you for them to do their jobs, you need to pull your weight. I have a slacker on my team, and it's painful. Everyone is always having to redo his work or do his work for him. We have to babysit him, and he's about my age. I can't stand it, and sometimes I just want to quit or move to a different team *because* of him. Our management doesn't seem to care that much because the work is still getting done, by the rest of the team.

So, I actually support the manager on this one. I wish my manager was like yours. Just cut the guy off everything. He hinders more than helps.

When you say you were “quiet fired”—meaning not at all fired, and still full pay and benefits—that is such a slap in the face to people who have actually been fired or unemployed.

and to the people doing all the work because they can't depend on OP.

I don’t understand the issue. You decided to scale back your commitment and effort at work, and your employer responded by giving you less work and fewer responsibilities. Isn’t that what you wanted? Assuming this isn’t a troll post to attack the “quiet quitting” concept, that is.

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.

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.

Quiet quitting is doing your job but no more. It is not about not doing your job.

I really don’t understand this term. Doing your job and no more is not quitting by any means. After all, my employer pays me my salary and no more. That’s the agreement!

Agree. I thought doing no more than your regular work was 'leaning back'. Whereas 'quiet quitting' is doing the minimum work possible.

Well, that's why this term is so stupid. Companies would like us all to think that giving 110% is a requirement of the job, but it is not. Your job will never love you back, so just do the minimum requirement and then live your life.
