Quiet Cutting is also done in ways the article is not mentioning. We used to call them hiring freezes. In the mortgage industry where there are positions with higher attrition, they simply allow the employees to quit and they never rehire that position.
Isn’t this just standard operating procedure? And, the funniest part is if they can operate without those people what fool hired them in the first place? Typical corporate speak trying to spin it in their favor.
To your point: those two people are possibly doing 10-12 hour days and 6-day weeks now, just to get it done (and keep their jobs). There was no “slack” to begin with. “Slack” may be a misnomer here.

You think they operate without those people without others picking up some slack?
That’s my point. The company was poorly run if they hired 4 people each with enough “slack” that 2 could leave and the job still gets done.
