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.

No one uses the term "lean back" anymore now that we all know what a shit Sheryl Sandberg is.

Sheryl was leaning in...not back.

Lean back is the obvious inverse of lean in...

I think it’s the same one complaining about WFH. No idea what his deal is though…other than hatred of employees who have power now.

No.

It only means doing your job spec and not butt kissing for promotions and raises that never happen.

The office do-nothing slacker. How were you raised with zero work ethic?

If IO is doing the work provided and expected that’s great. If a/he’s not doing as expected there’s an issue. If Op doesn’t know what the expectations are that’s on the bad manager, who needs to verbalize expectations.

Thus, it should be clear that if the manager is not managing the group well and being explicit about expectations, then they will have to do a formal layoff with severance package.

The passive aggressive BS and taking away projects just makes the “manager” look like a fool. I hope Op is documenting that all, doyle be worth a few months of additional severance if s/he doesn’t have the tools, communication, meetings to do the job.

My weak and insecure boss gets upset if you start being proactive about taking over new projects, writing new clients, taking over things. In fact she laid off the last experienced person for no reason and wants to only hire people out of grade school. Makes no sense.

* grad school.

Haha.

That won’t be less costly than the experienced person either.

My stupid boss woke up her slumber and gave me piles and piles of work to do in next two weeks. My work phone started pinging at 5am today with 7 tasks. Yesterday a 730am meeting with like 8 tasks. All ASAP. I have to work 18 hour days to get it done.

I took a look and a ton of road map items, 2022 planning, input to get board deck. 80 percent I can stall a bit. But only like 2-3 weeks.

Tomorrow I am going meeting happy and book
10-20 meetings next three weeks and put her as optional on them all. She wants to play so be it.

She unquiet fired me!! I think her EVP woke up. I am resigning 10-18 with last day 11-1. So I get 10-31 401k match and first day Nov keeps me on medical an
extra two weeks as cuts off on payday.

I say she will win the war! There is no way I can catch up on work.

Kinda glad she woke up. Ends my misery.

I'm so glad you said this. I'm reading OPs posts and can't make sense of them.

Lol, change your writing style first, don't add new info, or at least fix the typo changed I to IO.
