“Great resignation” wave coming for companies
&gt; Surveys show anywhere from 25% to upwards of 40% of workers are thinking about quitting their jobs.<p>This number is meaningless without previous year trends. In my circles, everyone from 25-35 is simultaneously preparing to FIRE and no-one that&#x27;s 35+ has actually changed jobs despite being &#x27;financially independent&#x27;. Expressing intent to resign, and actually resigning are completely different things. (edit: to clarify, I mean changing jobs specifically in the context of making inroads toward the retire early portion of their goal. Changing jobs to increase compensation is as strong as ever)<p>Real Translation: Covid has made people miserable in their jobs. The only way people can keep going is idle fantasies about a nondescript future date where this suffering ends.<p>&gt; Workers have had more than a year to reconsider work-life balance or career paths<p>IMO, over the last year, people have only dived deeper into their delusions and relative sense of privilege. Suddenly, having good health insurance, WFH &#x27;flexibility&#x27; and a stable jobs are now being viewed as things to be grateful about rather than the norm for well educated and employable adults.<p>&gt; &quot;Hopefully we’ll see a lot more people in 2022 employed and stable because they&#x27;re in jobs they actually like,&quot; she says.<p>Press &#x27;X&#x27; to Doubt
