More layoffs? PIPs? Something else they can think of to get rid of us?

Per Google Gemini:
A silent exit plan, often referred to as "quiet quitting" or "silent quitting," is a strategy where an individual gradually reduces their effort and engagement in a relationship, job, or other commitment, without explicitly leaving. It's a way of disconnecting from a situation that is causing stress or dissatisfaction, sometimes without directly confronting the issues or expressing their feelings.
Here's a more detailed look at what it involves:
(In work context)
Reduced effort and engagement:
Individuals might stop volunteering for extra tasks, minimize their participation in meetings, and avoid taking on additional responsibilities.
Limited communication:
They may respond less frequently to emails or messages outside of work hours, and be less likely to initiate conversations.
Distance from the team:
They might become less involved in social events or team-building activities, and isolate themselves from colleagues.
Minimalism:
They may focus on doing the bare minimum to avoid being fired, rather than striving for excellence or going above and beyond.
@ay Agreed, the suspense is toxic. What is a silent exit plan? Thank you.
Yeah. Something else they can wrap up with a nice tidy bow and call more reorg/transformation efforts. I'm upping my a silent exit plan as this is all too up and down for my health.
