Half of workers are 'revenge quitting' and walking out on their jobs without notice-and the majority are loyal, longtime staff | Fortune
"You've probably heard of "quiet quitting," the trend that saw employees doing the bare minimum of work and silently checking out of jobs they didn't enjoy but financially needed. Then came "loud quitting," which is essentially what it says on the tin: Making a lot of noise about why they're walking. But now, workers are so frustrated with toxic workplaces they're ditching jobs without any warning or resignation letter-or rather, "revenge quitting.""
"Perhaps surprisingly, it's not about money. Monster's survey shows the main triggers for revenge quitting are toxic workplaces, poor management, and feeling undervalued. Low pay or the lack of benefits actually accounts for only 4% of silent exits. Lack of career growth opportunities ranks even lower, proving that culture and management drives loyalty-or its collapse. And of course, it has a ripple effect on those left behind."
Nearly half of U.S. workers report leaving jobs without notice, a behavior labeled revenge quitting. Most had been in their roles for over two years before walking out. The primary triggers are toxic workplaces, poor management, and feeling undervalued; low pay and lack of benefits account for only a small share of silent exits. Lack of career growth ranks even lower, underscoring that culture and leadership determine loyalty. Sudden resignations disrupt teams: many workers have witnessed colleagues leave without notice, causing stalled projects, heavier workloads for remaining staff, and lower morale.
