Slashing your schedule. They start cutting your hours and/or giving you the worst shifts until you "voluntarily" quit so they don't have to pay unemployment. Seen it happen to multiple people in retail. It's incredibly common and very deliberate.

That’s another one I’ve seen. Makes it pretty obvious, especially if that’s the only person it’s happening to

I’ve seen a whole group taken away from a manager and for them to be demoted to some BS position. I’ve also seen PIPs based on lies. Also, cutting someone through layoffs - another strategy to cut someone without directly telling the employee it was them.

Wow. The demotion is something I haven’t seen. I’ve seen PIPs for sure. I’ve seen layoffs done very sneakily, to entire groups
I've seen a company slash budgets so a department was essentially stalled. And then it was dismantled. It's fascinating how some organizations won't be upfront and simply let people go, they make a sport of making their life miserable until they quit in disgust.

Everyone around the person makes it difficult to work by being a jerk to the person or simply ignoring them

Horrible. Just makes for a negative environment
