New research has identified the work factors most likely to lead to "quiet quitting", and calls for HR practitioners to view the phenomenon with less negativity.
Losing a job held for nearly 30 years was likely to have an "extremely significant effect" on an employee, but she was "given every opportunity to avoid that outcome", according to the Fair Work Commission.
It's not uncommon for employees to find investigations stressful and upsetting, but this doesn't mean they're unreasonable, a Fair Work Commissioner has commented in dismissing a stop-bullying application.

"Knowingly and repeatedly" flouting directions not to catch up on work after hours amounted to serious misconduct, the Fair Work Commission has ruled in rejecting an employee's unfair dismissal claim.
If HR leaders want more effective and psychologically safe performance processes, getting rid of the word "review" is a good place to start, an advisor says.
Performance processes tend to serve as an annual reminder that they're not meeting their objectives, and an advisor suggests HR leaders can start moving them beyond a box-checking exercise while "the pain is fresh".
