@top.law.assist: They don't fire you. They make you quit. 🚩 When a company wants you gone, a resignation is cheaper than a termination — fewer legal risks, sometimes no unemployment, no wrongful termination claim to defend. So instead of firing, they engineer the quit. Watch for these 3 moves: 1️⃣ The surprise PIP. You've been performing fine, but suddenly there's a "performance improvement plan" with your name on it — and a termination threat baked in. It's not about improvement. It's about pressure. 2️⃣ The vanishing money. The raise you were promised never lands. The bonus becomes "discretionary." That's not an oversight — it's a signal, and it's meant to be felt. 3️⃣ The loaded question. "Do you still see yourself here?" "Maybe you'd be happier somewhere else?" That's not concern. That's a nudge toward the door. If this is happening to you: don't make their decision for them. Document everything. Respond to unfair write-ups calmly and in writing. And get advice before you sign ANYTHING.
