每日英語跟讀 Ep.K635: The Rise of Live-Quitting on TikTok: A Reflection of Changing Workplace Priorities

In the era of the Great Resignation, where job turnover rates remain high, a new trend has emerged among young workers: live-quitting on TikTok. Instead of sending traditional resignation emails, these individuals are choosing to broadcast their resignations in real-time videos, often attracting millions of views. This phenomenon sheds light on the evolving attitudes of the younger workforce and the growing importance they place on mental health, happiness, and positive work environments.
在「大辭職」時代，員工流動率居高不下，一股新趨勢在年輕員工中崛起：在 TikTok 上實況辭職。這些年輕人選擇以即時影片直播辭去工作，而不是傳統的辭職郵件，這些影片通常吸引了數百萬的點閱。這種現象凸顯了年輕勞動力不斷演變的態度，以及他們對心理健康、幸福和積極的工作環境逐漸提升的重視。

Young workers, especially those from the millennial and Gen Z generations, are taking a novel approach to leaving their jobs. These live-quitting videos capture the exact moment when individuals make the decision to resign, whether by sharing a live Zoom call with their boss or recording the instant they submit their resignation letter. The phenomenon gained momentum after a viral clip in 2021 showcased UK McDonald's workers quitting in the middle of their shifts. Now, TikTok is flooded with similar clips, where users reveal their reasons for quitting, their emotions, and their sense of relief after making a life-altering decision.
年輕的工作者，特別是千禧世代和 Z 世代的人正在採取新穎的方式離開工作。這些實況辭職影片捕捉了個人做出辭職決定的確切時刻，無論是通過直播 Zoom 與老闆的電話，還是記錄他們提交辭職信的瞬間。這股現象在 2021 年的一段爆紅短片後開始蔓延，片中展示了英國麥當勞的員工在工作中辭職。現在，TikTok 上充斥著類似的片段，用戶在這些片段中透露他們辭職的原因、情感，以及做出改變人生的決定後的寬慰感。

The trend's roots can be traced back to the digital native culture of young individuals who grew up sharing personal milestones online. This familiarity with online expression and sharing has extended to the workplace, where quitting has become an event worth sharing. Additionally, the mindset of younger workers has been shaped by the aftermath of the 2008 economic crash, mounting student debt, and the disruptive effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, they prioritize mental well-being, happiness, and a healthy work environment. Videos of people leaving "toxic workplaces" and challenging unfair bosses resonate deeply with this generation, portraying such actions as aspirational.
這股趨勢的根源可以追溯到成長於數位原生文化中的年輕人，他們在網上分享個人里程碑。這種在線上表達和分享的熟悉感已延伸到工作場所，將離職視為值得分享的事件。此外，年輕勞工的心態受到 2008 年經濟危機後的影響、日益增加的學貸、以及 COVID-19 疫情的顛覆性影響。因此，他們將心理健康、幸福和健康的工作環境放在首位。離開「有毒工作場所」並挑戰不公平老闆的影片深深地引起了這一代人的共鳴，將這樣的行動描繪成值得追求的目標。

One example of this trend's impact is Christina Zumbo, a former Australian government worker. Zumbo's emotional journey of quitting her job and the subsequent video she shared garnered significant attention. Her story resonated with many who felt the same struggles and fears surrounding big career decisions. This trend, she believes, highlights the importance of taking control of one's own happiness and forging a path aligned with personal aspirations.
這股趨勢的影響之一是前澳洲政府員工 Christina Zumbo。Zumbo 辭職的情緒轉折和她隨後分享的影片引起了極大的關注。她的故事使許多人感同身受，他們在面對重大職業決策時感到相同的困惑和恐懼。她相信，這股趨勢強調了掌握自己的幸福，並為實現個人志向鋪平道路的重要性。

Although the long-term effects of the #quittok trend remain uncertain, it signifies a broader shift in workplace priorities among the younger generation. These live-quitting videos advocate for transparency in the corporate world. As young workers continue to reshape traditional notions of employment, their willingness to share significant life moments online challenges conventional norms and encourages discussions around work-life choices in the modern age.
儘管 #quittok 趨勢的長期影響仍不確定，但它標誌著年輕一代工作優先事項的廣泛轉變。這些實況辭職影片倡導企業界的透明度。隨著年輕員工繼續重新塑造傳統的就業觀念，他們願意在網上分享重要的人生時刻，挑戰了傳統規範，並促進了有關現代工作和生活選擇的討論。
