If you’re fed up with your job, you’re not alone. American workers are among the hardest working in the world. We don’t even take all the vacation time coming to us, and that has led to burnout.
Prior to the pandemic, we just soldiered on, but the last year has led people to reexamine their priorities. That has led people to want something more. They’ve begun to seek a work-life balance, more job flexibility and more money. And they’re walking away from their jobs. Four million Americans quit in April.
We look into what’s driving the “great resignation,” if it’s wise to quit and what employers can do to retain talent and keep them happy.
