Forget Quiet Quitting—This is Worse...

Описание: First, it was quiet quitting — the silent rebellion of employees doing the bare minimum to protect their peace.

Now, an even darker trend is emerging: quiet cutting.

Instead of layoffs that make headlines, some companies are playing a quieter, colder game. They’re reassigning projects, removing responsibilities, and starving certain employees of opportunities until they quit on their own. No severance. No statement. Just quiet pressure until the resignation email arrives.

It’s the modern corporate chess move — downsizing without the headlines.

If you suddenly find yourself excluded from key meetings, cut off from communication, or “restructured” without clear reason, you might not be paranoid. You might be the target.

And here’s the truth: quiet cutting might look strategic on paper, but it’s poison to culture. It breeds fear instead of loyalty. Silence instead of innovation.

If you’re an employee, stay alert. Learn to read the signals. Protect your value before someone else writes your story.
If you’re a leader, remember — trust once broken rarely returns.

Quiet cutting might save money in the short term.
But it costs something far greater in the long run: your people. 💼⚠️
