Shark Tank investor Daymond's take on the "loud quitting" trend
In the TikTok clip, the Shark Tank investor shared his thoughts on the loud quitting trend in which employees would resign and quit their jobs by announcing it on social media. This dramatic way of calling out toxic work environments or employers is "absolutely amazing" according to Daymond.
He stated that employers should pay attention to when people "collectively" criticize their workplace, environment, or boss and choose to walk away. The Shark Tank investor also talked about the "emotion " of taking this step, he said:
"You better pay attention to what's going on with your staff, because you [evoke] so much emotion that these people have collectively started saying 'I don't care what happens to me out publicly, This place sucks.' And I think that's absolutely amazing."
He mentioned the downside of receiving "too much attention over it" which could lead to a negative outcome in the future. Daymond implied that it could affect the future opportunities of an employee while saying that loud quitting at times is responded with loud replies.
He shared that this could also lead to legal trouble if the information is not right. As per Daymond, the loud quitting trend can get employees "sued for slander" if they say the wrong things online, he explained:
"If you do it too much, and you get too much attention over it, and it's not a bad place to work, I think you hurt yourself in the process."
All previous seasons of Shark Tank are available on ABC. The upcoming season 16 episode 10 is set to release exclusively on ABC on January 31, 2025. Fans can follow Daymond on his social media accounts.
