That's the point...
Layoffs and firings hurt stock price and needs unemployment checks.
So they make it as shitty as possible, hoping people quit instead.
Never quit your job over shit like this. Refuse and make them fire you if they care that much.
You might even get a class action for unlawful termination later, we need to start treating corporations like how they treat people.
Never quit when a company intentionally makes your life shitty?
Yes. Being fired means almost nothing nowadays. Worst case scenario, they fire you with cause so you can't collect unemployment. That puts you in the exact same situation as quitting. Once you decide you want to quit, just do the bare minimum while you job search.
Quiet quitting.
That term makes my teeth hurt. There’s nothing “quitting” about simply performing the agreed work at the agreed wage.
Corporate attempts to phrase this as some kind of theft are disgusting.
I actually work as keenly as possible. I really strive to leave a wound that'll sting long after I'v--- uh, I mean I really strive to leave a good impression during the (for me) year-long process of finding a good next job. For my peers, they're going to need my work to be super up-to-date because leaving them a shit-fire is a bit of a dick move and I respect my peers a lot.
Not if it's a constructive dismissal, like them forcing you back into the office when you're a remote employee. Well, depending on where you live of course.
If my workplace were to rescind the work from home stuff, I'd refuse to go to office and split my time between doing my actual job and shopping around for a new workplace.
That's what I did and they only wanted us back two days a month. Even did the interviews on company time.
I think that's completely fair. I was hired on the basis that it'd be a full remote position, with the occasional travel (like once a year, if that). If they randomly decided to have me go twice a month, I'd probably look around too.
It'd mean that twice a month I'd have to spend 4 hours commuting, hopefully on company time, as well as find someone who could sit my dog for the day. Honestly would like to have the work pay for that too.
Yeah, until feasible, stay there. Do the absolute minimum. They want you to quit, since it makes it easier for them to avoid workers' rights legislation
