BIPOC employees are rejecting the “quiet quitting” trend—and they’re quitting altogether instead. The concept has been trending all over TikTok, but many people of color are jumping in on the conversation saying they don’t have the option to quit quietly. Ultimately, the idea is a privilege that BIPOC employees don’t have the ability to participate in—and don’t have the desire to. As one professor put it: “Quiet quitting is a privilege that is afforded to people who have some perception that they have power at work, that their voice matters.” When they were job seeking, they knew they had to work twice as hard and overachieve to get many of the same opportunities, but at the same time, BIPOC employees don’t feel the need to serve what isn’t right for them and will quit altogether for better opportunities. One employee says, “…we just know how to move on because it’s in our history and our nature.” YPulse’s What’s Next For Work Trend report data shows that 20% of employed BIPOC young people who are planning to resign say it’s because they can get a more senior position elsewhere.
