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.

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.

Notice is the respectful thing to do, sure. But if an employee was disrespected during their time there, why would they try to do right by you? If they feel they were taken advantage of or mistreated, they will feel like they owe you nothing.

Respect is earned, not given based on your position of authority. Take this opportunity to look at why they left your team without notice. What did YOU do that made them feel like this was the best option?

Them not providing notice was not an action. Or was a reaction to a circumstance there.

Maybe someone was "rude" to them - over and over many times until they became so emotionally fatigued they quit the way they did. People don't just act like this out of nowhere. There's always several sides to a story.

Yea I agree with you OP. The way I was raised you give a letter of resignation with two weeks notice. You don't just quit and leave people hanging but it seems like this younger generation are not in the habit of giving two weeks notice and do this stuff all the time.

In the past if you accepted a position and did a good job you were guaranteed continued employment. That's not the case now. I have lost my last four jobs to outsourcing cheaper labor overseas. I did not get much of a notice or severance to show appreciation for my hard work. I don't like double-standards.

Did something tragic happen in their personal life? I'm guessing you likely don't know since you're too busy crying on here.

Someone who does this feels compelled to do this. It's not just a flippant idea to do this. True or not, this person believe they were justified to do this.

If you were to let this person go would you give them any notice?

there should be definitely some reason behind quiet-quitting
might be some one is no happy with the management and he finally decided to leave.
Management should create an environment which is suitable for a person worked in an organization after all he is an asset for the company and suddenly quite quieting is something very series matter which management is not care of.

There is always something cooking up which leads to someone quiet-quit.

I agree with what you’re saying, but do you all give a notice when you fire someone it’s kind of the same thing even though I still would’ve let you know that I was not coming then but sometimes better opportunities arise, and you have to take them then but it would be respectful to let you know that

One of my staff outright quit in 2024 directly after a 2 week vacation and had already cleaned all his personal belongings out of the office months ahead of time; stopped being responsive to email/teams; and from the amount if work left incomplete or done shoddily, had been planning to quit months before actually resigning. Much as I liked this person and (previously) thought highly of them - their bridges are thoroughly burned. Would never hire them again.

I don't think they will be asking you to hire them again.

I also had a colleague resign in 2024 with 5 days’ notice. I believe the colleague was on a Performance Improvement Plan (their “people skills” were horrible - and they were given years’ worth of warnings). Once the PIP was put in place apparently this person lodged complaints with HR - and HR was actively working with them to address their concerns. Still walked with 5 days’ notice, zero training or transitioning for the people who took over their major accounts (I was assigned one of the major accounts, and anchor for our office/division), and kept their work files on their computer, not saving the work products to the company shared/secured folders. Multiple indicators of how abysmally this person broke company rules on a continuous basis. Said person now calls one of my staff to “ask how things are going” with our clients. I’ve instructed my staff to say “I can’t discuss our clients or colleagues with you” and direct the (former) colleague to me if any issues arise. It’s not always the company. A lot of times it just may be personal issues with the sudden quitter or professional issues as to why the quitter is immediately let go. We lost 2 big clients last year. Thankfully the huge/anchor client’s relationship with our office is vastly improved now.

My friends, life is what it is. I worked for a non profit downtown wall street and I had to endure 10 years with a female boss. I did it cuz, I had no other choice. Finally I had to resign. Anyways that's part of life and sometimes we have to put up with certain characters for the moment

Do they need a Accounts Payables / Receivable person? Let me know
