Toxic workplaces don't fire you, they set you up to fail

I didn’t even realize it when it was happening to me | Phillip Holmes

Toxic workplaces don't fire you, they set you up to fail.

This isn't underperformance, it's engineered disengagement. Legally, it's called constructive dismissal.

It's when an employer intentionally creates unbearable conditions, pushing you to resign voluntarily. And when it happens, you might not even realize you're being set up. Here are 5 signs you're being forced to quit.

1. Your responsibilities are stripped away.

2. You're accused of not engaging while they're isolating you.

3  Your manager suddenly micromanages every task.

4. Performance standards change without explanation.

5. You're repeatedly blamed for things that are clearly outside of your control. 

Here's the goal, to pressure you into quitting so they can avoid severance, unemployment claims, or potential losses.

You're not imagining it.

Document everything and consult an employment lawyer to help you understand your rights so you can hold them accountable and exit strategically.
