A place that uses quiet firing

Implementation consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay Benefits Was remote but no longer

Cons

LinkedIn prioritizes quiet firing in 2026. This means building environments that are intentionally toxic. The idea is to push the employee to quit versus lay them off or fire them. This is a practice that you can expect to see if you join LinkedIn. If it doesn’t happen to you, you will probably need to be involved / take on more work to allow this work properly. What a career that will be!
