To start, lets talk about THE GREAT RESIGNATION, while nearly 40% of Americans are thinking about QUITTING their jobs, with “I QUIT” now being called a sign of an economic recovery.

First, one of the most SELF EXPLANATORY reasons people are quitting: They want to work from home.
The reality is, many employees got USED to working remotely, not having a commute, and being able to focus on their work without any office distraction - and that’s something they want the option of keeping. In fact, it was found that “ One in 4 pandemic home buyers would choose to stay at their new home and find a new job if required to return to the office.”

Second, Employees are looking for LESS WORK.
During the last year, as some businesses downsized their staff…that increased workload fell on fewer employees who had to pick up the slack. All of a sudden, one person was doing the work for two - and the expectation was, at least you’re fortunate enough to have a job in the first place…but NOW, the turns have tabled.

Third, people are quitting because they value CAREER GROWTH.
It was found that “80% of those thinking of leaving a job are concerned about career growth, and nearly 75% say the pandemic made them rethink their skill sets.” It was even said that “High-performing workers are the most concerned about career advancement in their current jobs, and they no longer feel geographically tied to local employers in a remote world.”

Fourth, employees are also quitting because they’re getting BETTER OFFERS with HIGHER PAY.
Workers who stay loyal to the same job make, on average, 50% LESS than someone who switches jobs every 2-3 years. That’s because workers who switch jobs are able to negotiate better terms with an increased pay…and now, during a worker SHORTAGE, the EMPLOYEE has more leverage in terms of who they pick to work with.

And fifth - companies are flat out getting more competitive.
The unemployment boost also has a second benefit for employees - it gives them the LUXURY of shopping around, taking their time, and waiting for the best career opportunity instead of snatching up the first offer they get. That’s leading EMPLOYERS to become more competitive, offer higher pay, with better working conditions, sometimes from home - and, employees are the ones who get to benefit.

Workers realized that they can get just as much done from home, IF NOT MORE, while saving time on commuting, spending more time with friends and family, AND saving money in the process…and, companies are taking notice. To attract top talent, businesses should be bending over backwards to make their employees happy - and, if they’re not - right now, there are plenty of others willing to give them what they want.

This is being referred to “The Great Reshuffling,” as people switch careers, employers, and locations, finding work they value much more - and, in the long run, I think this is a GOOD THING. Employers should be able to retain better quality employees…employees will get better working conditions and higher pay…not to mention, maybe a better work-life balance.

The 40 hour work week is disappearing. I took a $3 an hour pay cut and changed jobs because I didn’t want to work a 12 hour rotating shift. Jobs should only be to finance your life, not consume it.

People are quitting at an insanely high rate. I’ve never seen so many “We’re hiring” signs in my life lol people really are fed up and these companies know it. It’s time for a change.

This is one of the more fascinating ripple effects of covid.

My employer told us we had to return to the office. I got my resume professionally done immediately. Within two weeks I had several offers and gave my notice. I work 15 mins from home now and have a generous benefit package. Wfh made me realize how poor my quality of life was. So I fixed it !

[Funwithaball]

It took a global pandemic to realize on a massive scale that all companies are not paying enough to live a decent life.

[XavierFrancisJJ]

Recently quit my job for a new job that allows me to WFH 100%. No commute, no gas, and I can work in any state or country. Best decision I ever made!!

[cherryle]

During COVID my old company cut our salaries to less than the unemployment at the time even though we were expected to do the same work. So I quit and found another job that paid me 2x my old salary

[AnnySarahi]

Me i quit my job over a month ago because of how draining it was and these companies literally don’t give a crap about their employees ..

[thomasvasili]

Since the pandemic started, many people re-evaluated their life choices, including work... why work yourself to death for a company that doesn't care about you. "Take care of you; because if you died today, your job will be posted online before your obituary"

[CAguidesfordummies]

People don’t wanna work a 9-5 for slave wages because we all die one day. Why waste it being severely depressed and underpaid for a lifetime? Paid vacations are rare nowadays.. the U.S is pathetic and the government is a joke.

The more you know about your customers, the more you can provide to them information that is increasingly useful, relevant, and persuasive

Most jobs pay so little. People are getting fed up and have enough.

Now everybody realizes that they need us more then we need them. Its kind of beautiful in a way.

[insanemang]

I see a lot of people saying "lazy" a lot yet they would rather keep the same working conditions instead of forcing the establishments to make them better. Not everyone wants to work into an early grave.

[Drumwolf]

Notice how the prices of things going up but employers don’t give you raises so it is understood why people are quitting.

[JifferRiffic]

I quit my job because they wouldn’t give me a raise. So now I doubled my salary and work at a better place doing the same thing. ;-)

"The employee has more leverage as to who they decide to work with." As it should be.

I love that when the cost of every other commodity goes up we call it a market adjustment... even when it’s life-saving drugs that have increased astronomically. But when the cost of labor goes up... the response is “people are lazy.”

I've been working from home even before the Pandemic, if you are working for a small buck it's not worth your time to commute, pay for parking and get your lunch stolen from an office fridge by another hungry employee. It's a waste of time and resources.
