Today I found out one of my staff quiet-quit over the weekend. No notice period, just gone. I had just spoken to the person on Friday and they gave no hint at all they were leaving. Don’t be like this, it’s rude!

Isn’t quiet quitting staying on, but doing the bare minimum? Looks like this person just quit.

likefunnyhelpful

If your company decides to fire someone, do they give notice. That is equally as rude.

They usually do even better; they typically offer a severance that requires no work at all.

I don’t think this is the right usage of “quiet quitting”

likefunnyhelpfulsmart

Yea OPs situation is called “quitting with no notice” lol

likefunny

😂 you're hilarious. Do you give 2 weeks notice when you fire someone?

likesmarthelpful

I do this if I have given the company many opportunities to rectify situations. Poor management, lack of opportunities for advancement or lack of respect. Multiple times I went to lunch and never turned back!

likefunnyhelpful

Exactly! I did this too.

It seems that multiple people have left, which could indicate a deeper issue with management. It's important to reflect on leadership and organizational strategies to understand why this might be happening. Improving management skills and addressing any concerns could help create a more positive and productive environment moving forward. Learn from your mistakes.

Quiet quitting js when you stay employed but don't engage very actively. This is not quiet quitting.

Actions often have reactions and in here, you have only mentioned your staff's reaction but not your actions that have led him/her to that reaction. It is self-explanatory that if someone leaves a job with no notice more often than not is because it has ended up fed up with either you as a Manager, the pay or both!. Maybe you should do some self-reflection!

Employers nowadays are not honoring 2 week notices and instead terminating employees immediately, maybe that is why.

When the head person calls you the devil, and reminds you that the state is an “at-will” state and then fires one of the best employees when they came back from planned time off behind the true devil, sometimes it’s warranted. At will is not just for the employer.

Yet if you were to get rid of that person you would not give notice period they would just be gone. I don't get how employers expect "notice" when there is none given from their side. Sounds likes double standard and the only reason an employee would or should give notice is if the employee needs/wants a reference.

like

Yes, and most companies don't give references anymore. They refer the prospective employer to a 1-800 number and will only give the dates of employment and title.

So what's the difference between this and firing someone?

I will never understand how it's respectful for an employee to give notice, but a firm can just fire you on the spot.

Sorry, but this is likely more a reflection of you and their experience working with you than it is of them
