‘They’re manufacturing a reason to fire me': Boss cuts employee's hours in half but refuses to reduce their workload, employee finds a clever way to avoid responsibilities
Anyone who has ever been quietly fired knows how much that experience can get you down. Even if you hadn't been through that experience, surely you can imagine how awkward it can be when you know your boss is trying to squeeze you out of the company but doesn't actually say that to you because they want you to quit yourself.
Unfortunately, I happen to know exactly what this feels like. Two years ago I was working for a company and thought I was doing a really good job. I only realized they wanted me gone when they simply stopped giving me any work. It got to a point where in a part-time job I was only working for about two hours a week, so I quickly looked for a better job that would respect me enough to tell me what I was doing wrong.
The employee in this Reddit story is going through a similar experience since their boss cut their hours in half without an explanation. However, the main problem they are dealing with is that while they are working fewer hours, they are still expected to do the same amount of workload, which is practically impossible.
