41% Of Workers Globally Are Considering Quitting Their Job

If they had to get vaccinated against their wills to keep their jobs, I could understand. I only know a couple of people who are so afraid of covid they don't go out anymore.
 
Causing widespread digital Exhaustion among generation Z ( those born after '97)... jeez whatever will they think of next to avoid going to work ?... Many of them wouldn't be suffering from Digital exhaustion if they were spending all day on social media platforms or Gaming.. but suddenly it's exhaustion when it comes to having to work .!! *smh*

For that to be a meaningful statistic, you need to compare it to the percentage of people who were considering quitting their jobs before the pandemic. It might be in the video, but I don't have time to watch it. My dog needs a walk. :)

it's not in the video.. and yes it's the first thing I thought of, as I watched.... stats make no sense unless they can be compared to something...
 
With the latest version of the virus spreading like fir in California I think the last thing I would do is quit my job because jobs might be at a premium like they were when Covid first hit.
 
What's going to happen when EVERYONE decides they don't want to work anymore? ...

I think that for a lot of people, this time hasn’t been just a bump in the road, it has become a crossroads.

I know of people relocating, making job changes. thinking about retiring earlier than they had originally planned, moving to be closer to other family members. Taking advantage of the soaring real estate market to make money off their long paid for home and happily downsize.
I see many young adults who would otherwise be in school out working at all these new pandemic jobs like food and grocery delivery, & filling store positions that ones who got big federal benefits have vacated.
A lot of thinking about how to work smarter than harder.
Nobody told them to go do this sort of thing, they just took their forced idle time to really analyze things for themselves.
i personally have made some lifestyle changes from reflecting on “why do I keep doing the same old things the same old way.”
 
When I was working, did I think of every way to get out of going to work? Damn right. We have had a huge upheaval in our lives, and most humans don't like change. We are going to go through a period of confusion, and emotional turmoil. We are fragile critters. Who knows what's the corner, but we'll gripe about it no matter what develops. We don't like change, but change happens all the time.

At my job (tech jobs in Financial industry) we've already lost two people this past month (three if you count the manager everyone is glad to see leave!).
One of the people who quit said life is too short to spend at a bad job, the other one found a job that paid better and would have no commute (could work from home).
Myself and another person on my team are weighing whether to return to the office when they force us to (probably in another month unless delta changes that) or to retire instead.
I really don't want to go back to the endless grind of not getting enough sleep, every morning a stressful race against the clock, a commute that is okay most of the time but sometimes is terrifyingly foggy or slippery, then stuck in the unpleasant windowless "open office layout" crowded workplace for long hours, then commute home in the dark, and be in a race against the clock to get to bed. I'd guess working from home saves me 3 hours a day.
I don't know how much of it is my age, but I can sympathize with everyone who wants to resign, there isn't enough work/life balance anymore.
