Millions of Americans Regret the Great Resignation

Why should anyone pay any attention to this propaganda? Caring about what Bloomberg or the Washington Post has to say about the workplace is foolish and self-defeating.

"More than one-quarter of those who left work are reconsidering whether they made the right move..."

Whereas 75% are happy about it.

> “Many people spend as much time at work as they do with family and friends. For those who build strong personal relationships with colleagues, it can make a huge impact on how they view their job and how likely they are to stay in it.”

Except that you don't choose your work colleagues. You may find nice people but it's mostly random and you are stuck with what you get until you quit.

Also, is Bloomberg having a conflict of interest to report on these issues since they get ads from Fortune 500 companies that resented the great resignation?

I am definitely not one of that 25%. I liked my former coworkers well enough, but my situation is significantly better now.

60% raise, I get bonuses again, more PTO, better work culture, learning newer tech, actually building new software instead of 80% maintenance and support (it used to be mostly coding but transitioned into the other over time), no more late nights or being called in to support a network outage, etc.

If anything I should have left a lot sooner.

There’s always the risk of buyer’s remorse changing jobs (unless you were escaping something exceptionally toxic). Usually that dissipates by the year anniversary or you end up jumping back into the job hunt. The article doesn’t say how long those polled had been at the new job..

I've had somewhere around 30-35 jobs in my life. Part time, full time, not including contracting (I'm in my 50s and my first 1040 job was at age 13 over the summer... you could do that back then. I was paid $1.10 an hour, raised to $1.25 the next summer and I saved up $150 to buy a TRS-80).

Many of them I enjoyed, some I stayed for years, some I left very shortly, but I've never ever once regretted leaving a job and moving on and every time it has worked out better for me (I think). But maybe I just had really bad jobs.

What kind of clickbait is this!

"Job market has proved more difficult than expected"

What does that even mean?

Millions more don't

Wasn't the great resignation just baby boomers retiring? https://www.protocol.com/newsletters/protocol-workplace/grea...
