Nearly half of American workers say they've gotten so tired of uncaring bosses or boring work or making too little money that they' just quit with no notice, called "revenge quitting."
You may have heard of "quiet quitting," in which employees slow down their work or kind of "check out" of their job duties, and you might have heard of "loud quitting," in which employees make a lot of noise while they quit.
And just getting up, gathering your stuff and walking out without notice can be used by impulsive, lazy, or manipulative people for various reasons, one expert says.
But results-based workplace coach Paul Peters says he wouldn't readily link "revenge quitting" behavior with younger generations such as Gen Z, but usually there's a good reason for it.
"They're bored, they're not being utilized to their greatest benefit, they're not making enough money, they don't feel valued, so those are a lot of the reasons why people are revenge quitting," Peters explains.
But it's truly interesting, Peters says that work can be kind of like a marriage, or even dating, because it sometimes comes down to not feeling appreciated makes you want to just let it go.
"Often people will leave their marriage and the other person is like, 'What happened? What did I miss?'
"Revenge quitting is really about, are you as an employer valuing the person who is working for you?"
Often the employer is to blame for these actions, he adds.
"If you're not taking care of both your clients and your employees, you as a company are going to suffer, you're going to lose clients and your employees are going to quit."
