Young employees are live-streaming their resignations on social media. Experts say that could hurt their future job prospects.
. Now, disgruntled workers are broadcasting their resignations on social media platforms like TikTok under the hashtag"Quittok."
"The way in which it's done needs to be considered," workplace consultant Mike Jones, founder of Better Happy, a consulting firm that focuses on employee engagement, told CBS MoneyWatch."If it's done with a bad attitude, that will reflect badly on them in the future, and it's difficult to make something disappear from the internet. Even if your employer treated you poorly, you'll have a video of yourself being unprofessional following you the rest of your life.
"Sometimes they are unhappy at work and are talking about wanting to quit, but they don't necessarily do it live," Jones, of Better Happy said. "The main reason people do this today is that Generation Z have grown up in a digital era and are more comfortable communicating through tech and social media than they are in person," Jones said."So when issues go on at work, or they're unhappy at work, they're not comfortable talking about it [in person.] They let the issue build up, and they get so frustrated that they decide to publicly air it.
