Nearly 5 million people quit their jobs in January.
It seems that in all the hand wringing about the, "Great Resignation," people ignore the fact that if these were decent jobs who paid a living wage and whose managers even made the smallest attempt to be a, "Mindful human being," these people would not be running for the doors:
Some 4.3 million Americans quit or changed jobs in January, edging down a bit compared with December but still in record-high territory in yet another sign that workers continue to have the upper hand in a tight labor market.
Employers hired 6.5 million people in January, while reporting 11.3 million job openings that month, as the omicron coronavirus variant picked up speed in many parts of the country, according to a new report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
………
The number of people who quit their jobs decreased slightly, by 151,000, in January. Even so, quits in the finance and insurance sector rose by 30,000, an indication that white-collar workers are looking for new opportunities as many offices move ahead with reopening plans.
We have a work culture in the United States that fetishizes cruelty.
Just be glad that these employees are leaving your sorry asses, and not setting fire to your offices while you are inside.
