Work life - whether or not you commuted to an office - seems to be changing more than we thought. Lots of small businesses shut down for good during the lockdowns, jobs were lost, and cities that used to swell up with workers on weekdays still are not back to that norm.
The pandemic shook up work life. Many workers are not going back to the same old thing. They started a new business, or they prefer getting those unemployment checks, or they're just determined to work from home (yesterday's post).
For whatever reasons, a lot of jobs are not being filled.
And now there's a movement that encourages people to quit their jobs this fall. (Per this author, if I spent time on Tik Tok or Reddit I would have known this sooner 😉.) It's called the Great Resignation of 2021, and up to 25% of employees plan to do it according to a recruiter. Time will tell.
Whether or not that prediction is right, a tight labor market means that employers will try to make better offers as they compete for workers. Hopefully, more productivity and better quality of life for everyone will result.
