  • Americans are leaving their jobs in droves. In August 4.3 million Americans quit their jobs. While some people have left the workforce entirely, job security and better pay are top concerns for others. Dubbed "The Great Resignation", the exodus of workers has created hiring challenges for companies and left millions of jobs unfilled. More than half of U.S. workers surveyed said they plan to look for a new job in the coming year, according to Bankrate's August jobseeker survey. Some 56% of respondents said adjustable working hours and remote work were a priority. Working women have faced an additional burden, juggling childcare duties, virtual schooling and their careers. So, what does the realignment of the workforce mean for employees and businesses? And what steps should you take before quitting your job?

    Over the past 10 years, I've worked in IT, taught Computer Science, and worked in robotics/automation. Every single one of these jobs tried to make me work outside the hours that were predefined and then made me out to NOT be a "team player" because I challenged them. Part of the problem is coworkers not having the backbone to stand up for themselves. Quit being passive!

      @j-watty3818 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @LogicalSchizoid_INTP It's far from a random event. It's a domino effect of the businesses obtaining more power; work outside the predefined hours, be in constant touch through the use of the cell phone you pay for, take this medication, take this pay cut, no raises this year, etc. The rights and treatments of workers have dwindled over the past 50 years to the point everyone is quitting. The employers have gained more power while the employees have lost their power, both sides are at fault. Our powers as employees have gotten worse because the majority just roll over and do whatever their employer tells them to without challenging. Quit being passive!

    I got laid off in late January but found my passion last summer, skin care. I think I’m too old to go to medical school in order to become a Dermatologist so I decided to go to Esthetician school instead. Getting laid off was the BEST thing that ever happened. I hated my manager, she had horrible leadership skills and just refused to let me flourish and grow. In turn I was able to go to school full time which only took 5 months to complete and am now a licensed esthetician in NY. I recently got a job and it was a MUST that it be remote because now I have a space where I’ll be conducting my services and my goal is to work from there. I’m using is job to fund my passion and now the job isn’t using me. Fulfilled is an understatement ☀️

      I think employers are finally getting what they deserve. Serves them right after treating employees and/or prospective ones so badly. To employers: If the employee is qualified or has done the exact same work, please at least offer them the courtesy of an interview. If not, don't be surprised when down the line you're "ghosted." And quit paying poor wages and not granting any benefits or pay raises. In short, be decent. Oh, and one other thing. Quit offering me less benefits than others. I worked at a job where as a member of the lowest of the low I got one week of paid leave for not only vacation (after one year) but also sick leave. ONE week. Everyone else employed there got a month. I thought this was unfair and unequal treatment. Those people were not being paid at piece rate like I was, either but at an hourly rate or salaried and were being paid consistently. If I ran out of work which was often I did not get paid. The year I did not even make $10.00 an hour at their piece rate money was when I quit. I think they went out of business within the next 2 years. So everyone else at my level must have wised up too as to being exploited. Screw them.

    For the last 3 decades, employers have shown absolutely no loyalty to their workers. There's no training available for potential new hires with skill gaps. There's no benefits. There's no guarantees of employment even on a half-year timescale. They should not be surprised that workers have decided to respond in kind.

    I worked through the pandemic, worked overtime do to lack of employees.
    The last straw was when a new higher got a $5000 signing bonus but those of who had been there for years didn't.
    Basically what happened was this, the new person got the bonus of being the ONLY employee, all 11 of us quit without notice on the spot. Now the owner can hand out another $75k to staff the place, it takes 16 people to run that place smoothly.
    The next day they tried to compromise by giving us $1000 to come back, let's just say I don't think they will be reopening any time soon, that was 2 weeks ago.
    On the other hand almost all of us got jobs not far away and quickly. I will receive a $6k bonus in February, that's the same bonus my new employer gave to all who stayed throughout the lockdown.

We are only just beginning to see this happen. So, sure, everyone can raise wages and then the price of goods sold. We will all be making more money but will be paying more to live so the wage increase is for not. Worst yet if the increase puts you in a higher tax bracket then you will essentially be making less. This is why companies have not increased prior is because they did not want to increase the cost of their product. Now if forced to do so they will but it doesn’t change the quality of life for anyone. Those on a fixed income will be the ones really hurt.

      Handyman business is a great business to be in right now. You can be fair to your clients and still make great money.

      I think it's awesome that you are a great boss that isn't greedy. A lot of people should take example on you

    I think a lot of factors have to be evaluated in order to get a conclusion of why people does not want to go to work:
    -Anxiety and depression (huge obstacles right now)
    -Government helping financially
    -Student loans payments on hold
    -Fear of the virus (people are living of credit cards) we will see the impact of this in the next few years
    -People finding new ways to make money
    -Schools closing (one parent forced to stay home)

      Also the rising cost of living (inflation) while wages stay the same.

    The whole employment structure needs to be dismantled & built anew because as long as its running the way that it is now, its only gonna get much worse.

    The good news is. If you want to speak with the manager. You probably won’t have to wait long. Because the manager is probably already waiting your table.
