The corporate world is witnessing a new trend where employees are no longer tolerating workplace disrespect and tendering resignation.
In a recent viral case, a Delhi-based professional quit his job after being scolded in a meeting. It triggered debates about workplace culture and employee rights.
Why employees are walking away?
Traditionally, employees bear job stress, target pressures and even unfair scolding to secure their livelihoods. However, younger professionals are now prioritizing self-respect over job security.
The resignation email by the Delhi employee clearly stated, “You should not have scolded me in the middle of the meeting”. It shows shift in workplace expectations.
