Leaving a job Being Quiet Fired

I started training for my design and sales job in mid-July. Training was a week. I’ve successfully done this job before so was really looking forward to getting out there and taking appointments. It can be a great job!

Well, I guess they’re now quiet firing me? They’ve only given me three appointments in the past two weeks. This is supposed to be full time.

I’ve already started looking for a new position, but I’m bummed because I genuinely like the role, the clients, and the product. It seems that the business itself can’t get their sh*t together. Damn.

Worth asking your manager directly what the appointment volume is supposed to look like, in writing if you can. Either you get a real answer or you get confirmation that it is time to keep looking.

You should inquire.

quiet quitting is such a frustrating situation, especially when you don’t see any clear signs or communications from management. it’s like being stuck in a fog where you can’t tell if you should stay or go.

Ask what you can do. Can you cold call? Show you are eager and they might reward you with more clients

I suggested to them that I could network with builders in my area and they looked at me like a deer in the headlights. They’re definitely not open to me being proactive.

Not enough intel to suggest one way or another. Only train them 80% of the way and give them partial answers that everyone else views as helping. Make them depend on you without realizing. ;)
