Get the Covid-Quiet mug.The practice of an employee ceasing to work at their job without formally resigning so that the employer continues to pay them regardless of their having quit.
Example: By the end of Bill de Blasio’s mayoral term the police officers of New York City had all ghost quit the NYPD. They could only be found clustered in large, useless and ineffective groups, and only in the few remaining safe haven neighborhoods with their heads buried in their phones scrolling through TikTok. Despite the city's precipitous decline into normalized criminal anarchy, New York City tax payers continued to pay the police officers because they had all cleverly ghost quit.
