As many across the country take part in what's being called "The Great Resignation," where employees are voluntarily leaving their jobs for higher paying roles, many are doing so publicly.

On social media platforms such as TikTok, users are using the app to announce publicly that they're leaving their jobs, often saying their decision is about finding happiness and focusing on mental health.

"I kind of was faced with a decision like, okay, you either need to commit to what you're doing, or you need to get out now because you're not happy at all," said Marisa Mayes, a TikToker who used the app to make her announcement.

Another TikTok creator, Tiffany Knighten, also took to the app when she left her job.

"Dealing with microaggressions in the workplace and inequality, pay disparities -- and I chose myself and prioritizing my mental health," Knighten said.

According to the Department of Labor, 4.2 million Americans quit their jobs in October alone, meaning that this year, a total of 38.6 million people voluntarily quit their roles.
