Easing out of a position, by announcing your intentions to your employer without having a timeline.
I just soft quit my position, so the pressure is off and I need to find a new job , eventually.
When you let your current employer know that you are going to be quitting, but you do not have a timeline. It is not a formal resignation, but a courtesy notification. It can relieve performance pressure and relieve stress, while you determine your next move. There is risk that you will be asked to leave prematurely.
Tomorrow I will soft quit my position, the culture of the firm is not a match for me and I need to make a change.
