Are you being “ghost fired”? This is a new phrase for people who are quietly pushed out of their jobs.
Being ghost fired means that no one actually fires you, they just treat you with utter unappreciation. No promotions, no raises, fewer responsibilities, no coworker birthday parties.
Milton, pass.
In a LinkedIn poll, 48% of workers say that they’ve seen this happen to a coworker, this silent demeaning behavior that pushes people out. This is passive aggressive cowardice, indicative of how we’ve grown unaccustomed to uncomfortable in-person conversations. Sigh. Don’t do this to other people. Treat them with the dignity of being forthcoming.
