Last year’s workplace buzzword, “quiet quitting,” has taken a backseat to its opposite counterpart in 2024 – “loud quitting.” This trend involves employees making dramatic exits from their jobs by publicly announcing their resignations on social media platforms or airing grievances about their work online.
Loud quitting represents a stark departure from the subtlety of quiet quitting, where employees disengage from their roles without drawing attention. Instead, individuals participating in this trend seek viral attention by broadcasting their job resignations on platforms like Instagram Live or TikTok.
Despite its recent surge in popularity, the practice of loud quitting is not without its drawbacks. HR professionals caution against this trend, emphasizing its potential negative impact on future employment opportunities.
Niki Jorgensen, managing director at Insperity, notes that while sharing significant life changes on social media may feel natural for digital natives, it can have adverse consequences. Loud quitting is likened to burning bridges, casting employees in an unfavorable light and potentially hindering their professional reputation.
Experts advise employees to approach workplace dissatisfaction proactively by initiating conversations with their managers and seeking positive solutions. Mike Steinitz, senior executive director for Robert Half, stresses the importance of taking the high road to maintain professional relationships and preserve future career prospects.
Moreover, the interconnected nature of industries means that negative reviews or actions at one job can reverberate across professional networks, impacting future job opportunities. In smaller industries particularly, where everyone seems to know everyone, maintaining a positive reputation is crucial for career advancement.
In essence, while loud quitting may offer temporary catharsis, its long-term consequences on professional relationships and career prospects warrant careful consideration. As workplace dynamics evolve in the age of social media, individuals must navigate these trends with foresight and discretion to safeguard their professional standing.
