The great resignation is in effect an existential crisis for the working person. People are questioning their life values and gut checking their work prospects against it and making a change when necessary. The pandemic was a watershed moment for everyone to kind of wake up and say, “is this right for me?”
I rarely see talk of a crisis of values on any of these forums.
Every time I see a forum discussion, it is about pay and work from home. We didn’t all move to the public service to make social services work great. We didn’t resign big tech by the thousands to allow solar startups to be slammed with applicants.
We just all shuffled our current jobs because those who shuffled got stuff those who didn’t shuffle were refused.
I’d quit too if I was independently wealthy. What are all these kids doing to feed themselves and pay rent?
