A growing trend of 'quiet firing' is emerging in Indian workplaces, where employees are subtly pushed to resign rather than being formally dismissed. This informal tactic involves sidelining employees, limiting their responsibilities, and withdrawing opportunities without official communication or a clear paper trail. Experts note this method is difficult to challenge legally, as it bypasses formal termination processes and often lacks statutory safeguards for white-collar workers. This approach is seen as a result of avoidance over direct feedback and leadership discomfort with confrontation.
