What is forced resignation? Man explains in a LinkedIn post, says you are easily replaceable

The job market is currently challenging. Professionals worldwide, not just in India, are struggling to secure or retain employment. Many are staying in unsatisfying jobs simply to make ends meet, while others are opting to quit, even if it means facing a period of unemployment.

Job dissatisfaction has become increasingly common, often stemming from factors such as lack of growth opportunities, poor work-life balance, low pay, and toxic work culture, among others.

This often drives employees to the verge of quitting, with many eventually resigning out of frustration. Recently, some companies have adopted a strategy of intentionally creating challenging situations to pressure employees into resigning.

During your employment, you might encounter a situation where a company offers you a forced resignation. This can occur if the company decides they no longer need you for the role or if they are eliminating the position altogether. Although this process can be difficult, it's crucial to remain professional and gracious to preserve a positive relationship.
