You've heard of revenge quitting, quiet quitting, coffee badging and micro-retirement, but what about 'quiet redundancies’? Aoife Ryan-Christensen looks at how employers in Ireland and worldwide are implementing 'quiet redundancies' to scale back workforces in the face of uncertainty, tariffs and AI. "It's a situation where a company will reduce its workforce, but it won't do it through the official redundancy means, and they won't do it in the volume that would require a public announcement. There’s a lot of ways in which it can be done, and this is where it becomes a little bit complicated." https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2025/0611/1514613-quiet-redundancies-workplace-trend-ireland-stealth-layoffs/
