Financial Times sheds light on ‘noisy resignations’ trending on TikTok
The moment you are fired, you can even film and upload a video in real time.
Recently, with ‘exit videos’ being posted on the social media TikTok, the ‘noisy resignation’ culture, rather than the ‘quiet resignation’ culture of working at a workplace that was popular during the COVID-19 period, doing the minimum amount of work and working as if in a de facto state of retirement, is becoming a new trend. It’s a hot topic.
On the 18th (local time), the Financial Times (FT) reported an article titled “Why the younger generation of workers refuses to quietly leave the workplace.”
The FT said, “Workers of Generation Z (born in the mid-1990s to 2000s) are waging a workplace transparency campaign and posting videos of themselves being fired on social media such as TikTok.” “Technical workers, school teachers, production workers, etc. posted videos.” “He said.
In fact, there are many videos posted on TikTok using hashtags such as ‘#layoff’ and ‘#layoffseason’, announcing one’s resignation or publicizing complaints about treatment at work.
Christina Jumbo, who posted a video of her resignation on TikTok, sent an email to her boss informing her of her resignation, looking tearful and saying, “This job has made me unhappy. She expressed her feelings, saying, “I want to leave for a while.”
Also, Britney Peach, who worked at the global security company Cloudflare, was fired after three months of joining the company. She filmed herself being notified of her dismissal via video call and posted it on TikTok, receiving over 120,000 likes.
After the video was released, Cloudflare’s CEO said on social media ‘X (formerly Twitter), “We were not perfect,” and “We were not kind and humane.”
These videos are generally filmed when a layoff is announced, and the company announcing the layoff is often unaware that the video is being filmed or recorded.
The FT reported that most TikTok users don’t seem worried about legal challenges from the company, even though departing employees risk being sued for filming confidential matters.
He also said that this trend is not only a way for Generation Z to promote their social media accounts, but also a way to expose and change poor working conditions or treatment.
He said, “Unlike the ‘quiet resignation,’ in which people worked the minimum amount of work to maintain their jobs during the coronavirus pandemic, this trend is called ‘noisy resignation.’”
In this regard, the FT said that this culture may affect employees’ ability to find employment in the future, but it may also help companies change the culture of easily notifying them of layoffs.
