The workplace landscape is evolving rapidly, and employers are grappling with a growing trend: “revenge quitting.” Unlike impulsive "rage quitting," revenge quitting is a calculated response to long-standing dissatisfaction with workplace culture. According to Glassdoor's Worklife Trends 2025 Report, 65% of employees feeling stuck in their current roles are likely to consider revenge quitting this year. 

Natural disasters continue to increase in frequency and severity, causing significant damage and leaving millions of people struggling with financial hardships. From rebuilding homes to securing necessities, the recovery process is often slow and bureaucratic, leaving disaster victims in a state of uncertainty. Traditional aid methods, like checks or bank transfers, often face delays, making it harder for those affected to access essential resources in their time of need. 

Employee appreciation isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential for retention, productivity, and morale. According to Gallup, employees who feel undervalued are twice as likely to consider quitting within the next year. On the other hand, Workhuman reports that happier employees help their colleagues 33% more often, spend 46% more time on tasks, and report being 65% more energized by their work. To build a motivated and loyal team, thoughtful rewards such as gift cards can make all the difference.

Following the Great Resignation in 2021 and 2022, 2024 began a troubling trend deemed “the Great Detachment.” This trend hasn’t led to employees quitting their jobs, but rather growing increasingly detached from their employers and less satisfied with their roles.
