"Revenge quitting" is growing, fuelled by social media. Revenge quitting is when a worker quits and does bad things against the company. Unhappy workers are posting details of their resignations online. Other posts show workers walking off the job, resignation messages, or rants against former bosses. Other acts include causing problems for former co-workers. Examples of this are deleting data, not helping with the handover of duties, and exposing sensitive information.
An employer-rating website has warned of "a wave of revenge quitting" because of rising unhappiness among employees. A recruitment company surveyed 2,008 workers and found that 15 per cent of employees had "revenge quit". It said Gen Z workers were more likely to revenge quit. Its survey found that 26 per cent of 18- to 34-year-olds had done so. A survey in Japan conducted by a management consulting firm found that around 10 per cent of workers had been troubled by revenge quitters because of a sudden increase in workloads.
