Loud quitting
Etymology
Coined as the counterpart to quiet quitting and popularized by Gallup’s 2023 State of the Global Workplace report, which used “loud quitting” for actively disengaged workers who make their dissatisfaction visible.
noun · /LOWD KWIT-ing/
Publicly and demonstratively disengaging from or leaving a job, making your discontent impossible to miss.
What it names
It names the opposite strategy to quiet quitting: rather than silently doing the minimum, you air your grievances openly — announcing the exit, posting about it, or actively pushing back — so the disengagement becomes a statement.
Example
Instead of drifting off quietly, he went loud quitting — a resignation thread naming every broken promise.
Related idea
The same disengagement as quiet quitting at opposite volume: quiet quitting withdraws effort silently, loud quitting makes the withdrawal a public act.
