Revenge quitting, a trend that has intensified since the 2000s, involves employees resigning not for better opportunities but as a form of protest against toxic work environments. This phenomenon has been exacerbated by economic disparity and geopolitical instability, prompting more individuals to prioritize personal dignity over job security. For companies to combat revenge quitting effectively, they need to foster a genuine sense of belonging among employees, as mere DEI or HR strategies are insufficient. The consequences of such immediate resignations include financial loss, decreased morale among remaining staff, and a detrimental impact on organizational knowledge and continuity.
Longstanding workplace issues such as mistreatment, the normalization of toxic behaviour and a lack of accountability have led to a rising trend known as revenge quitting.
Employees are no longer motivated solely by financial stability; they are increasingly willing to leave toxic environments as a form of protest.
