#Quittok | 'Loud quitting' is a trend that continues to unnerve employers

We’ve all heard of quiet quitting; one of the latest buzz terms to make a splash within the HR community. Essentially, the term means completing one's minimum work requirements without going above and beyond or bringing work home after hours.

However, it seems that a brand new trend has stolen the limelight from the quiet quitting phenomenon, and is making the rounds on social media among millennial and Gen Z workers – loud quitting.

I know what you’re thinking, isn’t loud quitting just…quitting? Well, the answer is no. Loud quitting doesn’t just mean handing in a resignation. It means making it known as loud as possible that you don’t approve of the way a company is run, or how you were treated as an employee, and often utilising social media to share your story.

In fact, so engrained is social media in the loud quitting trend, that the term ‘quittok’ has grown in popularity, referring to making a video on the TikTok platform about quitting.
