Comment on Tech Employee Who Went Viral for Filming Her Firing Has No Regrets
five82@lemmy.world 10 months agoDisguising layoffs as performance based firings seems to be more and more popular these days. As an older employee who’s in the process of being managed out/quiet fired, it’s a horrible, sadistic way to gaslight your employees and toy with their mental health.

Yeah. That’s why I was curious. I replied to a comment saying we need to raise penalties for layoffs to disincentivize it. But if employers are using performance as a guise to do layoff without a layoff, that might mean the layoff punishment is deterring it in a weird way.

Thanks. I considered management at various times during my career. But it’s just not for me. With that being said, I can tell you that it’s rough being an older IC if you want job security.
