There are clear reasons people choose revenge quitting. One is bad behaviour from bosses: shouting, unfair rules, or being humiliated. When leaders treat staff poorly and do not listen, anger builds. Another trigger is difficult customers who shout or are rude, especially for workers who must face the public every day.
Long hours, no help, and being very tired, called emotional exhaustion, also make people more likely to snap. Social media is another push. Platforms like TikTok and Instagram make dramatic exits visible to millions and can turn a personal moment into a performance. Younger workers, or those in insecure jobs, may feel they have little to lose and much to gain from going public.
When these factors combine, leaving loudly seems both a protest and a way to regain dignity. But it is usually an emotional response, not a planned career step.
