Almost half of workers regret changing jobs during 'great resignation'

Four years ago, millions of workers switched jobs during the "great resignation." Now, some of them admit they have regrets over making a career move. Ben Thompson connects the dots on why experts say millions of people regret quitting their job at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. #Money #Economy #GreatResignation
At the height of the trend, a record 4.5 million workers, or 3% of the U.S. workforce, were quitting their jobs every month. Experts say as the economy got shakier, many of these folks began to miss the stability and familiarity of their previous jobs.
Several surveys have asked these workers how they feel about the decision to make a change one, two and three years after the fact. One survey done last year says as many as 80% of workers who quit regret it now.
The trend is continuing, though. A recent survey from Microsoft and LinkedIn found nearly half of working Americans are considering quitting their jobs in the next year. If this sounds like you, economists say you might want to move back your timeline, because unemployment rates are going up, signaling a tough time ahead for the economy.

Companies do not care about the worker. They will reap in all the profit.

It’s just the boom and bust of the FED . this new instability doesn’t come from quitting jobs

[@dorachdew]

Did you know that half of kids are below average?

[@Matt-fl8uy]

But many are making 20%+ of what they were making before.

[@aluisious]

I'm making 50% more.
Everyone should be looking for a better deal all the time. The profiteers do it, the workers should do it too. We're the people who actually do everything.

Been there done that and soon realized I'd landed in hell.....that's why I waited to be let go, collected my unemployment, and took my time looking for my next dull job....

[@KayL555]

I quit with no regrets. Same industry, but less pressure, less toxic and more peace.

AI will render most of these jobs obsolete within the next decade.

AI is going to cream dumb news articles and news casters.
