The workplace phenomenon of "revenge quitting" is growing worldwide, fuelled by social media. Revenge quitting is when an employee purposely causes disruption in or attacks the reputation of an employer. It is on the rise in Gen Z workers, who are making it a viral trend. Disgruntled employees are posting details of their resignations online. Other posts show workers suddenly walking off the job, viral resignation messages, or venting frustrations with rants against former bosses. Other vengeful acts include causing problems for former co-workers. Examples of this are deleting data and files, not helping with the handover of duties, and exposing sensitive information.
在社交媒體推波助瀾下，「離職報復」現象正於全球職場迅速蔓延。此行為指員工離職時刻意擾亂運作或破壞雇主聲譽，尤其在Z世代間蔚為風潮，成為病毒式傳播的職場現象。心懷不滿的員工不僅在網路公開離職細節，更出現突然甩手離崗、瘋傳的辭職信，或透過激烈言論痛批前東家等極端行為。其他報復手段還包括刪除資料、拒絕交接、洩露機密資訊等，令前同事不堪其擾。The employer-rating website Glassdoor has warned of "a wave of revenge quitting" because of rising dissatisfaction among employees. The UK recruitment company Reed surveyed 2,008 workers and found that 15 per cent of British employees had "revenge quit" their jobs. Reed said Gen Z workers were more likely to engage in revenge quitting. Their survey found that 26 per cent of 18- to 34-year-olds had done so, compared with 8 per cent of people aged 45 and older. A survey in Japan conducted by management consulting firm Scholar Consult Co. found that around 10 per cent of workers in Japan had been troubled by revenge quitters because of a sudden increase in workloads.
僱主評測網站Glassdoor警告，員工日益高漲的不滿情緒正引發「離職報復潮」。英國招聘公司Reed調查2,008名員工發現，15%英國勞工曾實施「離職報復」，其中Z世代占比最高：18-34歲族群達26%，遠高於45歲以上族群的8%。日本管理顧問公司Scholar Consult調查則顯示，約10%日本員工因同事突然離職導致工作量暴增而深受困擾。
