Organizations are regaining power over workers, who had the upper hand at the labor market’s tightest; and as they look to cut costs ahead of a potential recession, they are experimenting with new forms of quiet firing.
Meta recently issued harsh performance reviews, deeming thousands of employees subpar. Walt Disney Co. is requiring remote workers to return to the office four days a week. And Walmart is closing multiple technology hubs, requiring workers to relocate if they wish to stay on the payroll.
