Revenge quitting refers to the act of leaving a job in a way that signifies discontent with the workplace, often at a time that is disadvantageous to the company. Rather than seeking better opportunities—what many might see as a routine career move—revenge quitting embodies a reaction to feelings of being undervalued and mistreated. This phenomenon is characterized by a more aggressive departure, where the individual does not prioritize the organization’s needs and leaves out of frustration and resentment. Essentially, it represents a more pronounced emotional response to toxic workplace dynamics, as opposed to traditional forms of quitting.
