This whole show can be called the effect of the crowd. Someone decided to be unique, created a hashtag, and the crowd followed him. Maybe it's fun when people are young, but on the other hand, all these showmen create their videos for the sake of fame. It's silly to seek fame on social networks, but unfortunately, today's youth are ready to do anything for the sake of likes instead of achieving something really significant.
I haven't watched those videos, but if I were a manager, I wouldn't hire anyone who tries to make a joke out of even their serious stuff.

Why would anyone share a video about quitting your job online? It just doesn’t make any sense to me. I get it, we all want a better work environment with a better pay and all that and if you aren’t getting that at your place of employment, it’s within your rights to quit.
Actions speak a lot louder than words and the manner and behavior in which you choose to exhibit when quitting would tell others quite a bit about you. Then you’ve got to go ahead and put it on the internet for everyone, probably including your next employer to see.
You may very intend on passing along a message with your quitting video about standing up for a right to better working conditions with pay but your message could also be interpreted differently by other people who would then start to generate a not so good opinion of you.
This hashtag might probably be highjacked by trolls seeking views and attention and ruin the purpose(if any) for its existence.
Sadly, I think people might follow this trend to quit their jobs and post it online simply cause others are also doing it the same way people have been blindly following others.

Like any environment, there are both good and bad things, thinking about a healthy thing I think needs to improve user awareness and their usage behavior on social networks. I see many people gradually losing the real things in life and wallowing in cyberspace, but I also don't deny how pervasive the positive values in life are. Even myself, although I'm not too old, I don't like to use a lot of social networks that's why I didn't use fb, tiktok, ins,... I like friends work participate in community activities together.

Desire for positive work environments and greater work-life balance Driving Young People to Quit their Jobs on TikTok
Having a job should be a consideration the benefits both the employee and the employer, it must not be vested on one side because everyone is out to make a living through what they do, as for those quitting their jobs, well i think they've already gotten an alternative that's why, also think about it this way with how the economy of digital currency and technology is fast increasing with opportunities, same is the social media with diverse means to gain recognition and get connected because it's one of the fastest means of disseminating information, so irrespective of the job offer and the conditions, once it's not to their favour being an employee they soughted for another alternative which i think isn't bad.

Desire for positive work environments and greater work-life balance Driving Young People to Quit their Jobs on TikTok
Recently there is this trend on #quittok where we see you workers quit their jobs on TikTok. At first, I thought what was this? But then when I began to see more and more of these videos via the hashtags #quittok, I knew right then that the shit had hit the fan(pardon my language). These young folks would capture the moment when they are turning in their resignation either live on the video conferencing app, Zoom or in person. Crazy. Isn't it?
What is the reason for this? They are tired of toxic work environments. They want freedom to do other things with their lives. They do not want to end up like their parents who struggled with their jobs.
This article explains the reason better-
Would you share the moment you quit your job online for the whole would to see?
Assuming you are an employer, would you hold this against a prospective employee if you saw a video of them quiting their job and making a video for the whole world to see?

Experts believe the trend is being driven by young people’s desire for positive work environments and greater work-life balance, after seeing their parents struggle in corporate jobs during the 2008 economic crash, experiencing low-paid jobs and student debt, and having their early work experiences shaped by Covid-19. Sharing such moments on social media is seen as a natural extension of a generation that grew up sharing every kind of milestone online.
