China’s ‘Naked Resignation’ Trend Forces Workers and Employers to Rethink Job Security
A short video posted on China’s social‑media platform Weibo has sparked a wave of conversation that is resonating far beyond the platform’s scrolling feeds. Titled “裸辞后才意识到原来人生真的会突然改变” – literally, “Only after resigning nakedly did I realize that life can really change suddenly” – the clip captures a sentiment that many Chinese workers, and increasingly employees across the globe, are beginning to vocalise: the uneasy freedom that follows a “裸辞” or “naked resignation,” the act of quitting a job without another one lined up.
