Non-increasing salary leads employees to ‘’Quiet quitting’’!

Last year, the world got attention after a young man lost his life due to overworking hours in China, and there were reactions about working hours on social media. Asst. Prof. Dr. Fatma Ulutürk evaluated the "Quiet quitting" phenomenon that emerged.

Quiet quitting, known as not going beyond the job descriptions of the employees, not trying to make a difference and exceeding the company’s expectations, both reduces the employee's productivity and their commitment to the workplace. Asst. Prof. Dr. Fatma Ulutürk stated there are also situations such as not being able to get a salary increase under that reaction. It is very significant to ensure that all work is completed within working hours with the planned number of employees.

JOB DESCRIPTIONS MUST BE CREATED IN DETAIL BEFORE RECRUITMENT

In September, Youthall's survey of young workers about quiet quitting revealed striking results. According to the results of the research, it has been revealed that 24% of the youth in Turkey are experiencing quiet quitting, while 46.7% are prone to it. Low salary is the most important reason that drives young people to this situation. Asst. Prof. Dr. Fatma Ulutürk from Istanbul Gelisim University Civil Air Transportation Management underlined that job descriptions should be created in detail before hiring.

IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWINGS, YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO A QUIET FIRING!

Asst. Prof. Dr. Ulutürk indicated the following: ‘’It was observed that employers also adopted a quiet firing attitude in return. In addition to these attitudes, if the employer makes the employee passive, disturbs his/her peace by intimidation, humiliates them in front of the public and consciously excludes him/her, it means that the employee is subjected to mobbing. It should not be forgotten that these behaviors also have legal penalties.”

If other employees are not in the same situation as you, you must accept that there will be no promotion opportunities in the business. Quiet firing as well as quiet quitting can create major problems for the employee. Experiencing even a few of the things listed below indicated that the employee may be facing quiet firing. These are as follows:

• If there is no increase in your salary in recent years.
• Failure to receive meaningful feedback from the employer or the employer refraining from communicating with the employee.
• Employer forcing the employee to answer particularly difficult questions at team or company meetings.
• Ignoring the ideas and opinions of the employee, not including the employee in additional opportunities and projects.
• Being excluded from meetings, events and/or social gatherings.
