"Great resignation" wave coming for companies - Upwards Of 40% Of Workers Are Thinking About Quitting Their Jobs

“The great resignation”: Upwards of 40% of workers are thinking about quitting their jobs

Workers have had more than a year to reconsider work-life balance or career paths.

Companies that made it through the pandemic in one piece now have a major new problem: more than a quarter of their employees may leave.
What's happening: Workers have had more than a year to reconsider work-life balance or career paths, and as the world opens back up, many of them will give their two weeks' notice and make those changes they’ve been dreaming about.
“The great resignation” is what economists are dubbing it.

• Surveys show anywhere from 25% to upwards of 40% of workers are thinking about quitting their jobs.
• "I don't envy the challenge that human resources faces right now," says Anthony Klotz, an associate professor of management at Texas A&M University.

A number of colliding trends are driving the resignation boom, experts say.

• University of Michigan economist Betsey Stevenson tells Axios, "People have had a little more space to ask themselves, 'Is this really what I want to be doing?'" So some are deciding they want to work fewer hours or with more flexibility to create more time for family or hobbies.
• Others are considering switching careers entirely.
  • A cruise ship staffer trained and pivoted to work in a data center because the pandemic showed her the volatility of her industry.
  • An insurance broker and her restaurant manager husband both left their jobs to start a landscaping company because they realized during the pandemic that they wanted to spend more time outside.
• Some are quitting because their bosses won't let them work from home post-pandemic. Others are leaving because they miss their offices, but their companies are now hybrid or all-remote.
• "A lot of people who want to go back are finding that the office that they come back to is not the office they left behind," Klotz says.

There's not much firms can do to hold onto employees who want to switch fields. But human resources may be able to retain some workers by offering as much flexibility as possible, says Cathy Moy, chief people officer at BDO USA, a financial services company.
But, but, but: The big churn could ultimately be good for workers and employers.

• There are now a record 9.3 million open jobs in America, Axios' Felix Salmon reports. And people can still rely on unemployment insurance so they're not desperate to nab the first job offer that comes along, Stevenson says.
• "Hopefully we’ll see a lot more people in 2022 employed and stable because they're in jobs they actually like," she says.

So be it. Best case scenario I get to leech of a government that hates me, worst case scenario government that hates me collapses. Either way I get what I want, it's not like I'm well off in either scenario.

Technically I don't actually leech of the government as I'm a student but if possible I'd do it in an instant. I would feel sorry for people who work hard just to support people like me, but my advice to them would be to use their skills to help their family and friends and earn some money that way instead. Or just get it from the government aswel. The faster this shit collapses the better. It will anyway, I'd prefer if it happened while I'm still young, healthy and can take care of myself.

I mean, if your argument is you're too useless to live well, who am I to argue?

I fucking hate being back in the office. Commuting is a waste of time and for what? To sit in a tiny wage cage surrounded by a bunch of loud annoying morons that make it impossible to concentrate.

To those of you who want to go back so you can bang dicks with co workers and that bullshit. Fuck you. Only stupid NPCs care about that bullshit.

 

[Kujo Jotaro]

Feels good having an in-demand, relevant skill that has an hourly rate going to space because retarded zoomers are all going to liberal arts colleges.

Feels good knowing I can walk out of said job at any time and have another, likely better one by the end of the week. Wouldnt do that though, I do like my job, but still. Feels good.

what do you do if you don't mind saying?

 

[wry wrangler]

Until I don't need it anymore I will continue to call in sick regularly and only do the absolute bare minimum when I bother to show up. That is my retaliation for being treated so poorly for so long by my employer, a company that is controlled by complete sociopaths and liars.

I dont blame you. If you don't do it someone else will do it it exactly same way and for the same feelings you have. In the end shit will hit the proverbial fan, not sure how or what it's going to be. Something is coming though.

Its not like if you worked hard the company would treat you better. I've had plenty of jobs where I the companies/owners were just terrible or conditions etc.

In the end we are all going to lose imo.

 

[Mr. Bung]

In the end we are all going to lose imo.

Lemons can always be made into lemonade. The grand total of suck that's been piling up since early last year looks pretty shitty, but I think we'll manage to scrimp by somehow, especially those of us who are able to adapt well to changing environments. Necessity is the mother of innovation, war is the mother of invention, life finds a way and all that jazz...

The article does not take into the 2 most important situations that will happen one way or another if the Government does not intervene. 1. Mortgage Forbearance. 2. Renter's forbearance.

Those 2 items end at the end of this month. Play time for GENERATION FAIL will be over with. Dumb fucks think that the money will never end, but buttercup the time of reckoning is coming.

You need money for food and your expensive toys. And those assholes don't want to work well then Manuel Labor and EZ hadid with his H1B visa WILL.

Once the easy money goes away they will be back to work.

Also there is this.

Unemployment claims dip to another pandemic low

The number of people of filing for weekly jobless aid has dropped for five straight weeks as layoffs slow.

www.cbsnews.com

States will start cutting off federal unemployment benefits this week. Here’s a map of where (and how soon) aid is ending

More than two dozen states are ending their participation in federal unemployment programs early. Four are doing so effective June 12.

www.cnbc.com

So really in ending this is just another fucked up article being written by the usual Urinalists abroad.

One of the things I love reading is companies lamenting that there's no worker loyalty.

Gee, I wonder why?

 

[MaxPayne]

ITT: "Who cares if I'm leeching off my fellow man and accelerating America's economic demise, as long as I get mine that's all that matters! And also, why are those corporate fat cats so greedy and selfish? They should be thinking about others!"

If you sit at home and collect welfare despite being perfectly able-bodied, you're exactly as bad as you believe corporate is. You can't act like a dumb lazy hick and then get mad that society treats you like a dumb lazy hick.

A few years ago I'd agree with you. But now? The faster this shit burns to the ground the better

My current company is the only one that didn't treat me from the beginning like a lazy thief who must constantly be monitored and prodded.

As such, it's the only job I've ever had where I don't steal or goof off. Respect costs nothing. Why are the shitlicks who manage most companies so loath to offer it?

I'm waiting for my job to fire me so that I can get a paid vacation from good ol' Uncle Sam.

You're right. Respect, though it costs nothing, pays huge dividends. I think for some of these assholes, it's a power thing. Some people just love to flex power over others.

This was a thing even before the pandemic as the two main rules of corporate culture are as follows. COVID and gov't bennies just accelerated it for the "wagie" sectors.
- If you aren't up for a promotion, seek it in a different company. Job hopping is central to success.
- Never take a counter offer when you do leave, by the time you want to leave the relationship with your old company is 100% dead.

It is a lot of fun to see people freaking out in the "wagie" sectors though - restaurants and retail being short staffed to a point where they've got restricted hours and services makes me laugh super hard. Every story that comes out about the shortage boils down to "What can we possibly do to retain employees?! (* that doesn't involve paying them more or making the job not garbage) - ITS A MYSTERY!!".

 

[Get Fisted]

According to my data, she's been dead 13 years, and skeletons are mighty thin....

Usually but not ur moms lol

 

[Comandante Marcos]

Truthfully? I wonder how many people are just saying "fuck civilization" and doing the Ted Thang (minus the shit where people you hate get blown up). I was recently looking at satellite photos of the area where the Fort is located. It's a remote area that was laid out as a paper "subdivision" by a land scammer in the late 60s. They carved roads but that was it. No utilities of any kind. I've noticed that about a dozen of what appear to be travel trailers have popped up. (Keep in mind I haven't been out there in a while due to the distance from current year Bunker as well as covid shit.) This isn't a desert a la La Zorra either, it's in an area that gets rain and has readily available surface water. There's a subgroup of people saying "ok, it's Venezuela here we come, so I'm not gonna get stuck kissing the asses of Empress Kamala's goons for a 10 ounce bag of flour and a bottle of shitty apple juice, I'm bailing out of this shitstorm and living off the land before the sheeple catch on as to how screwed civilization is". Americans aren't all brain dead consoomerz ffs.

You know, as opposed to:

• Needing to wake up extra early to beat traffic and still get to work super early because your maximum worktime is bound by whenever the person responsible for closing decides to clock out,
• working in a drab, silent, and stale environment with hardly any communication you don't have to wander for (at the cost of productivity),
• driving from the head of one county to the butt of another, often in heavy traffic in dangerous highways, and
• getting caught in a cycle of fatigue because you get home late and can't go to sleep early but still have to wake up early.

I fucking hate being back in the office. Commuting is a waste of time and for what? To sit in a tiny wage cage surrounded by a bunch of loud annoying morons that make it impossible to concentrate.

To those of you who want to go back so you can bang dicks with co workers and that bullshit. Fuck you. Only stupid NPCs care about that bullshit.

So, basically this?

If you sit at home and collect welfare despite being perfectly able-bodied, you're exactly as bad as you believe corporate is. You can't act like a dumb lazy nigger and then get mad that society treats you like a dumb lazy nigger.

Appended that for the PEE-OH-CEES in the audience.

Appended that for the PEE-OH-CEES in the audience.

Exactly like this:

Except surrounded by interns who took all the cubes that used to be occupied by my laid off or outsourced co workers. The group I'm in used to have 10 people. There are only two of us left.

All but one of the interns are female. One nigger, one gook, one arab, one white girl, one fat goblina, and a couple mystery met ones and one white male. The only one I've seen do work is the white male. The girls sit around and talk all day.

I interned for a large company before and I quite liked the office. The commute was extremely short and cubicles get a bad rap but they are actually good for concentrating, much better than open space offices. They also had free lunches for attending meetings and an exercise room. So if I went back to work there I would go back to the office, but my office was probably better than 99% of people's offices.

 

[IAmNotAlpharius]

My job decided to fuck the employees out of a pay increase in 2020 and gave us a shit increase in 2021, so my CV is already doing the rounds. Also I'm sick of working from my home.

I like my job but I am considering switching for a pay raise because I’m concerned about inflation.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

"We don't know how to keep them!"
>Try giving them a raise.
"No, if we do that then upper management, who does fuckall, won't get six figure bonuses!"
>Try giving them free health insurance like you did the Boomers.
"No. Six figure raises."
>Try giving them 30 days paid vacation/sick days a year.
"No. Six figure raises and then they won't feel company loyalty."
>Try getting rid of the bullshit pandering to troons and faggot.s"
"No. Company loyalty would suffer. And six figures."
>Try treating them better.
"No. I makes my dick hard to act like an ignorant asshole and rub it in their face I make six figures."
>Try offering dental and vision, nobody does that.
"Six. Figures."
>Fuck this, I'm out.
"Why isn't anyone loyal to the company? We've tried nothing at all and now we're out of ideas!"


Fuck these major companies whining. They made this bed, they can have a crazy blonde bitch light it on fire while they're sleeping in it.

The excuse I always heard was that if they gave their workers raises, insurance, or fucking hell, just treated them better, it would make costs, and prices go up, and that automation would just kick into overdrive, and then there'd be no jobs at all, so things would just end up being worse than they are now.

Now let's see if that bullshit's actually true when no one wants to work.
