   Chen Xiaolin, 27, quit her job as an accountant in a PR company in Shanghai at the end of last month. She didn’t have another job lined up.

 
  上个月月底,27岁的陈晓琳(音译)辞掉自己在上海一家公关公司的会计员工作。她当时还并未找到下家单位,这便是所谓的“裸辞”。

  她只是单纯地不想再在那间办公室工作了。陈晓琳说:“我很讨厌这份工作,有时甚至会在早晨上班前大哭一场。”
 
  Chen now plans to take up some professional courses before she finds a new job. She has savings which can support her for the next six months.
 
  现在,陈晓琳计划在找到新工作之前,开始着手学习几门专业课程。她的积蓄也足够支撑自己接下来的半年时间。
 
  Chen is not alone in leaving a job before lining up a new one. What job analysts call “naked” resignation is now a growing trend among young people, according to a recent survey co-conducted by Globe magazine and Sohu.com.
 
  像陈晓琳这样的裸辞一族,可谓大有人在。一项由《环球》杂志以及搜狐联手发起的最新调查显示,这种职场分析人士口中的“裸辞”趋势正越来越多地影响着年轻人群。
 
  More than 43 percent of the 8,064 respondents quit their jobs before finding new ones or were thinking about doing that.

  苏琳表示:“相对于无止境的加班,我更想去享受生活。我得花些时间去放松自己,把身体的负面能量甩掉。”

  分析人士认为,裸辞现象显示出年轻一代对薪酬以及工作保障的重视程度正在减轻,他们如今更关心自己工作得快乐与否。

  而来自安徽大学的社会学教授王开宇(音译)则认为,年轻应该更加慎重地看待自己的工作。
 
  “Your work is where you do your bit for the big society. So you can’t leave it just because you don’t like it any more,” Wang said.
 
  王开宇教授说:“你的工作是为了整个大社会贡献自己的点滴。所以你不能只是因为不再喜欢这份工作而选择辞职。”

  智联招聘网广州分公司总经理李欣(音译)也建议,最好不要只是因为工作不称心的一面而辞掉它。

  李欣称:“一些年轻人辞职后会花时间寻找一份完美的工作。但是世上根本就没有完美的工作这回事。”
