admin Traditionally, if a person wants to resign from a job, they put down papers after discussing with their manager or HR. However, now there is a new trend which is circulating where people are not using the usual method to do so. They are live streaming their resignation so that the whole world can know. This is getting more and more popular with every passing day, especially on TikTok and is therefore termed as Quit – Tok.
What is this Quit – Tok Trend?
This “loud quitting on social media” has gained a lot of popularity in the younger generations in workplaces. Here, the employees are recording themselves while tendering their registrations as they go live to capture real time moments as they quit.
Why are Job Experts Cautioning Against Quit – Tok?
Although this might feel satisfactory for youngsters, the job experts are requesting people not to do it as there can be some long term consequences of quitting in such a way which might impact a lot as compared to the temporary fun.
Paige, a 24 year old from Florida is the first one to do the Quit – Tok trend as she live streamed her resignation from her job. But it was later reported that she deeply regretted her actions as she said, “It was not the mature thing to do, and my parents were on my back about it. I now have a new job,” she shared. “It seems like a cool way to show that you have power over others, but the next day, I felt like it was stupid.”
Job experts are also saying that this can impact the future employment scenario of an individual, as this can be seen as very unprofessional and it displays a “revenge element” attached to it as no company would want to be publicly insulted like that.
“This often includes publicly dragging their employers for alleged misconduct in some way,” Neil Costa, who is the Boston based founder and CEO of HireClix said. “Similar to a train wreck that you can’t look away from, these videos are so shocking that they’re going viral,” he added.
