Jobs can be stressful and there is a growing group of employees who feel they have had enough of it and seek immediate action.
Instead of sitting through and trying to face the hurdles, new employees are practising ‘revenge quitting’ and resigning on the go and here are seven reasons why:
Lack of career growth: Employees can feel stuck with unclear career paths or limited promotions and skill development opportunities.
Low pay: Employees meeting goals might feel underpaid and deserving of higher salary increases during appraisals.
Burnout and work-life imbalance: Heavy workloads, unrealistic targets, and prolonged stress can lead to emotional exhaustion, causing impulsive resignations.
Lack of recognition: Unacknowledged hard work makes employees question the worth of their efforts.
Absence of belonging: Poor team spirit and engagement lead to detachment and easier quitting decisions.
Disconnect from purpose: Younger workers seek meaningful jobs. Without purpose, they lose motivation and disengage.
Lack of support: Feeling ignored, disrespected, or undervalued makes employees leave, reflecting the organisation's failure to address concerns.
