“Quiet firing” refers to employees who are sidelined in a way that leads them to resign rather than be formally dismissed. It often does not begin with a clear signal. Instead, it may unfold gradually, with fewer opportunities, exclusion from meetings, being passed over for promotion, average appraisals even though the employee has exceeded his targets etc.

It is not uncommon to hear of employers preferring to pressure workers to resign by making conditions unbearable at the office. Few bosses relish the thought of formally terminating a subordinate, no matter how justifiable the case may be. Watching co-workers get laid off has a negative impact on the morale of the remaining staff.
 
Employers often choose to adopt unscrupulous means to compel employees to quit so that internal administrative processes, legal exposure that may arise from dismissing workers and paying costly severance compensation may be avoided. A publicly-listed company that lays off a significant number of its workforce in one fell swoop may also shake the confidence of investors and shareholders. With more companies resisting issuance of official termination notices, retrenchments are underreported in S'pore.
