If you suspect that efforts to quiet you are in progress..

Employers are so fickle. They think you’re a Super Star one minute.  In the blink of an eye they declare you rubbish! 🙄

I am not going nowhere until my time. They sabotage my career with defaming my character because wasn't willing to sacrifice my morals, and now I am a target by management. I will fear no evil.

Never quit, let them fire you so they have to pay you compensation.

Every morning I get on the job boards. I keep my resume up to date. If I smell anything funny, I start applying. I just don’t have time for games.

I really feel for someone stuck in a job where they are not wanted, nor appreciated and not given an opportunity to get to a more suitable place.  Especially when they are actually great workers looking to do a great job for their employers.

Don't share personal stuff with management. Be careful about sharing 'opinions' to your boss too. Say you don't know.

"Quiet firing" is too mild a term -- I call what you describe "constructive dismissal" -- creating a toxic situation whereby you need to leave.

I don't mind being were Im not wanted. Long as Im getting a check.😂

When they support you in quiet but secretly sabotage you is the kicker. Realized too late. Took a leave but now I have to return and I am still hoping for a new job soon. The silence is deafening and I'm also checked out.

This is great advice but I would also say If you’re in this position of no fault of your own, PRAY PRAY PRAY 🙏🏾.   If you are a good employee and they just want you out, The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace!  I have witnessed God shifting things back against the very bully trying to get rid of you!

Another one is:  the boss sends you "help" that you don't need or asked for.  The new hire that your boss interviewed, you had no input in the hiring process, but they're going to "supplement" your department.   Yeah, right.

I’m in my sixties and if I had my time over again I would NEVER work - I’d work out some way to make money but a job?
Never.

I don’t know how your videos were recommended to me, but I’m really enjoying your channel 😃

You should be requesting a personal file review! Always review your personal file and ask for a copy of your file.

I am going through this right now and it is making life a living hell. I am using the holiday break to update and send out my resume and dust off my network. I need OUT.

When it's clear that your employer wants you gone the best course of action is to immediately find other employment and (upon securing a new job) turn in your resignation.

Yeah, I just went through months of quiet firing, and they finally fired me.  Got the just do better warning with no specifics in writing.  They tried to shame me for my tone, the look on my face, my identity, and my disability.  I feel like I just got out of a toxic relationship. So... now what changes.  Eeoc in investigation currently.

Always take notes, peeps!  Keep a written record.  Nothing is insignificant. If it irks you, write it down.
Save the emails. Document all of it.  It will save you in the future and bolster your case. Heed Regina's guidance.
Also, when people want to get on a "quick call" to discuss issues that could affect your employment, follow up with an email to summarize what was said, and obtain WRITTEN affirmation. People will always deny remembering what they said in a verbal conversation.  It's so convenient. Don't be a victim of any employer. Always best to try to leave on your own terms in the end.

I went through this. What saved me was keeping notes and reporting all wrongdoing immediately. There is no other way you can prove wrongdoing. It got to where my boss would call me into the office to gaslight and insult me, behind closed doors. Of course, he would not admit to anything. So what I did was report his insults and gaslighting, and refuse to be alone with him or another subordinate. I would be present only if there was someone he accounted to, present. The agency could not force me to expose myself afterwards.
Document and report everything. When I had the strength to finally go to Human Resources on my bully boss, he announced a surprising, early retirement a few weeks later.
You need to document everything, but also go to the gym, eat well, meditate and take care of yourself as you become a gray rock and overcome the pressure.
