According to new research from Software Finder, many employees are quitting because they are frustrated with their workplaces. The research was based on a survey of 1,007 full-time employees working in different industries, and its purpose was to get latest insights on Revenge Quitting. About 28% of full-time employees expect to see revenge quitting — resignations driven by workplace frustrations — happening at their workplace in 2025. Meanwhile, 4% of employees plan to revenge quit themselves, having been silently planning their departure for an average of over 13 months.
The top frustrations employees are feeling in their current jobs that are making them revenge quit, are low salary or lack of raises (48%), feeling undervalued (34%), and lack of career growth opportunities (33%). Twenty-seven percent also reported quitting because of poor management or lack of recognition.
The research also found what employees need from their employers to respond to their dissatisfaction, stating that they demand a 4-day workweek (33%), performance-based bonuses (33%), and more paid time off (28%). Government (33%), retail (31%), and marketing and advertising (31%) are the top industries that are going to get affected because of revenge quitting of employees.
