How to handle silent firings at work
In a separate story, Bizna Kenya spoke with HR expert Rose Khamunde, who commented on the trend where employers use silent tactics to push employees into resigning.
According to Khamunde, silent firing occurs when an employer wants to remove an employee but lacks a justifiable reason for termination. Instead, they create an environment that gradually forces the worker to resign on their own.
It’s a strategic, often unspoken maneuver that spares the employer from legal disputes, severance costs, or direct confrontation.
According to Khamunde, these tactics can range from excessive workloads to outright exclusion from key projects and meetings.
“One of the most common signs of silent firing is when an employee is deliberately overloaded with unrealistic tasks or deadlines, making it nearly impossible for them to succeed,” Khamunde explained.
