A new trend of ‘Silent Firing’ seems to be emerging in companies to fire employees without directly firing them. This technique involves making the working conditions so hard for the employees that they quit on their own.
This tactic is being widely used by companies like Amazon and is being seen as corporate’s response to ‘quiet quitting’, another trend where employees give the bare minimum dedication to their work.
A recent survey has revealed the effectiveness of ‘Silent Firing’, with more than 73% of the workers deciding to quit the workforce due to such practices.
Social media has been very vocal on this issue, with people coming forward to voice their opinions. One user said, “Feels like companies want us to quit without the legal hassle. So much for loyalty!”
Another expressed his disapproval by saying, “I get why they’re doing it, but silent firing just seems like a way to avoid accountability.”
This is also being seen as a move by companies to replace human jobs with their AI counterparts, as many companies quietly hand over the jobs to AI after firing their employees.
However, a study from MIT suggests that while some might expect AI to bring revolutionary changes in job dynamics, a mere 5% of the jobs are going to be handed over to AI in the coming decade.
This practice has given birth to something known as the ‘Great Detachment’, a phenomenon where employees grow more and more detached from their jobs due to dissatisfaction.
