Toto Isshiki and quiet firing

I am not having a superb time at work that in order for me to be sane is to think about my fave fictional characters in order to make the day-to-day life bearable. Suddenly I thought of Toto Isshiki in the beginning of the series where his boss Amamiya was not giving him enough work to do. He even has his own folder.

In Japan, this practise is called “quiet firing” or oidashibeya, “literally the banishment room or the expulsion room.”

Employees are typically placed in a room, often windowless, where they have nothing to do. In many cases their business cards are taken away, and they are forced to do menial, mind-numbing tasks, or given nothing to do at all. Being excluded from the mainstream is particularly painful for those who have dedicated themselves to the company for many years, especially in the context of Japanese culture where murahachibu (ostracism from the group) is a traditional and strong form of punishment.

That’s why at first I was not so keen on Amamiya. I found her not so kind at all.

Akira Amano is of course aware of this practise and must have heard of it. When Toto appeared on the first chapter frames he was not having the finest days at work. He was not asked and quickly dismissed as nuisance. He had to prove that he was not only dedicated but a professional one as well. For Toto, meeting Ron Kamonohashi was the best thing that could ever happen to him. On the other hand, Ron shut himself off from the world. In the end, they badly needed each other to fill the hole of what the other was lacking. That’s why I am very invested in RonToto and I believe that this has always been Akira’s first and foremost aim: find two desperate idiots, let them meet each other, let them become friends and then fall in love.

Well linkedin, I think you'll find that's called "constructive dismissal" and it's really hard to prove in court but it is illegal

Stop repackaging terms that already have definitions into some quirky internet trend. Quiet quitting is just working to rule and it's a tactic used by union members all over

When you feel like an "outdated" Zaku surrounded by newly advanced Mecha. This is what "Quiet Firing" feels like.

How to tell if your employer's HR is quiet firing you

HR Person: Please feel free to ask me questions about your evaluation. :)

Me: *asks questions about the evaluation*

HR: *sets up a meeting with my supervisor; I'm supposed to be at the meeting too, but my supervisor is the one that tells me about it, HR never contacts me*

HR Director: *during the meeting tells my supervisor the gist of what I had written in my email (which was written with the understanding that it was in confidence and that I was simply asking questions about my evaluation); presents the email as if I had sent an unprompted complaint email*

=-=-=

From my supervisor's latest evaluation: PaddySnuffles has been keeping her desk organized but we're unsure if that will continue going forward.

Me: So I'm meeting expectations but that's not enough? How can I improve?

My employer's HR director: Oh, it's not about improvement. We're just saying that we don't know if you're only doing it because that's an issue we mentioned in the last evaluation and will stop when no one's paying attention anymore. :)

Me: So what can I do to change that perception?

HR Director: *changes subject & doesn't answer the question*

=-=-=

My Supervisor: You often have food [I never have food] and drink at your desk, and that's not good near computers.

Context: I have a cup of tea at my desk. Just like all the other staff have drinks at their desks.

=-=-=

HR Director: You need to organize your desk before you leave for the day.

Me: I always do.

HR Director: Okay but you need to organize your desk before you leave for the day.

=-=-=

HR Director: We need to talk about your tardiness problem.

Me: What tardiness problem?

HR Director: You were late once in the past 3 months. That's unacceptable.

Me: I slept through my alarm but I called the moment I woke up to let them know I was going to be late. And it only happened the once.

HR Director: You know how many times I've been late for work? None. Even in snow storms and though I live far from work.

Voiceover Narrator: HR Director had, in fact, been 15 minutes late for the very meeting that was taking place.

=-=-=

My Supervisor: Sending emails isn't convenient for me.

HR Director: So you two should prioritize talking in person instead of via email from now on.

Context: I had have a medical accommodation for primarily communicating via email because I'm autistic.

This article is entirely about why it’s super unfair to managers when you won’t work harder without being paid for it.

[embarrassedauthornerd]

Hey all! Sorry for being so inactive over the past couple months, it's been really rough. Work draining me physically and mentally like the toxic shit hole it was. But I'm hoping to get some requests and more writing done now that I don't have to worry about that terrible place anymore

#Igotquietfired....

Anywhoooo I look forward to interacting with you guys and hopefully putting out some form of legible content.

Okiebyeeeee!!! *runs back behind corner*

Welcome to my rant about my job

My manager told me when I was hired in that we were overstaffed and I'm "lucky" that she was "kind" enough to give me a chance. Come to find out I was one of 4 new hires. Annnnnd they just hired 5 more people in my 4th week and cut me down to 9 HOURS a week here soon.

I'm being quiet fired I think. Since I hired in, whenever I work a shift with the manager she just treats me so bad, and keeps cutting my hours. I'm constantly getting lectured, that I'm not doing enough(my work friend and I tested this out by having us both do the same exact thing but I was the one who got picked out. Oh no we both put a candy on the wrong shelf! But I got blamed for BOTH)

I've heard my Manger talking to customers, justifying the way she talks to me in order to "knock her privileged self down a peg" wtf you mean girl, just because I live with my mom and go to college DOES NOT mean I'm a spoiled lil rich girl. I got my education by working hard for the scholarships I have. I worked my ASS of my whole life just to me able o get to where i am now. If it weren't for the scholarships, I never would have considered further education. I live with my mom cause wtf I can't afford an apartment, bills or really much of anything on the $12 and hour, 9 hour week which actually subtract 2 hours of that for unpaid breaks, that I make.

I have worked hard for the life that I have, and have faced fucking abuse from family and friends, have financially struggled as a family for YEARS. The only reason we haven't lived paycheck to paycheck as a family is because we left my alcoholic abusive father who would steal our money for selfish means. But no. My PRIVILEGED ass needs to be "knocked down a peg".

I'm hoping to stick it out until I can maybe find a paid internship for my major. After all I have textbooks to buy, gas, car insurance, money for the repairs for my car that's literally falling apart(needs repairs biweekly, oh! And trying to find a cheaper replacement for the car as a whole), help for my mom with groceries and rent so she can buy my lil bro some new clothing....oh! And because it's summer our energy bill is higher so gotta help with that. Not gonna touch the fact that I have need to deal with trying to figure out whats wrong with me health wise(cause that's on the backbones for now. Don't have the time to deal with it)

And yes, I am thankful for everything, my moms kindness, my brothers, my moms boss(who's like and uncle honestly. Him and his family has helped us so much), the fact that my family's budgeting and saving since leaving my dad has let us live a lil more comfortably. That my grandparents have been there for us.

Never fucking judge a book by its cover cause you never know what's its about until you open it. And you know nothing about the authors life until they reveal it to you.

I really needed to rant about this so whoever reading this, thanks for listening.
