Immature boss starts playing petulant games with his employee, assigning her no work for days because she expressed a need for rest once: ‘She's been removed from their Slack channel’

Quiet-quitting is one thing, but quiet-firing is a whole other ballpark.

Usually, when an employee decides to quit quietly, it's because they aren't happy in their workplace. They feel overworked and underpaid, their managers refuse to provide merit increases for great output, and it all just feels moot.

We're sure you know this feeling all too well. Employee burnout, though, can also just be a symptom of the workforce's inertia. We all need a rest at times, especially if we're integral to the flow of our respective companies. A lot of members of upper management, though, don't want to confront the elephant in the room: Their subordinates work too much, and they work way too little.

The employee in this next story decided she needed a rest after her boss contacted her off the clock to complete a task. This comes after a long string of passive-aggressive games, executed by her boss. The employee's husband believes her boss is targeting her because she received a pay raise to stay at the company, and now, he's wreaking havoc on her every opportunity he can get.
