In this episode, he’ll discuss the decline of ‘quiet quitting’. We’ve entered a new era of bold exits, where frustrated employees aren’t just handing in their notice—they’re making sure it’s heard loud and clear. According to a survey by Software Finder, 17% of employees have revenge quit in the past and 4% of employees plan to do so in 2025. Welcome to the world of revenge quitting, where top talent walks away not in silence, but with impact.

While nearly half of all employees are frustrated with their salary, revenge quitting isn’t only about pay. It’s also about broken promises, toxic leadership, and a chronic lack of genuine engagement. The traditional methods of dangling perks and performance reviews are falling flat. Why? Because today’s workforce is driven by purpose, flexibility, and psychological safety—none of which can be solved by a ping-pong table or free snacks.
