quittings

Acts of resigning

Quittings are acts of leaving or resigning, the plural of quitting.

The word appears in contexts where multiple departures matter: The quittings came in waves after the merger was announced.

Less common than the singular, it emphasizes repeated or numerous instances of people walking away from jobs, habits, or commitments.
