Job hoppers regularly change companies, moving from one to the next without staying in their jobs for very long. In the United States, this phenomenon is such that it has given rise to the concept of quick quitting.
The term quick quitting is used to describe employees who are reluctant to spend their entire career with the same company, as many of their predecessors did. They stay for a maximum of one year before seeing if the grass is greener elsewhere. This term is not to be confused with the concept of quiet quitting, which involves doing the bare minimum at work — just what’s on your contract, and nothing more.
And scientific studies prove them right, since employees who are bored at work are two to three times more likely to fall victim to heart problems, according to UK research from 2010. Employees in search of meaning, especially younger ones, no longer hesitate to change jobs multiple times to meet their personal and professional aspirations. This trend is particularly pronounced in the US, where the short-term tenure rate — the number of jobs that end before one year — jumped in 2022, according to LinkedIn’s “Economic Graph”.
