The great resignation is coming

Ready to say adios to your job? You’re not alone. “The great resignation is coming,” says Anthony Klotz, an associate professor of management at Texas A&M University who’s studied the exits of hundreds of workers.

These are worldwide just more SYMPTOMS popping up. The world is digitally abstract in a crises without understanding it. The very high level corruption is over many years too abstract and embedded to understand by most. It will take TIME to understand, it will take TIME to reverse to acceptable levels so society can live again.

Ist understand why Symptoms popping up.
2nly look for complicated evidence hiding abstractly under your nose.
3rdly your law systems may not be ready for this.
Its not the same as old analog corruption which the world could tolerate for as long as MAN is on Mother Earth.

Well in my circle of say 10 close friends, 2 have resigned in the past 3 months with no new job lined up (well one is doing this fintech startup full time but not drawing a salary), taking some time off.
But not because they were forced back to the office. Was a combination of things but I reckon the biggest item was working from home highlighted some stark insights into how many corporate run, and how there's another world out there, another way to live our lives.

I must say, if (when) my company goes full retard and bans wfh and forces us all into the office in spite of evidence that productivity increased over the last year, I will seriously consider moving jobs.

Completely agree.

I got asked to go into the office as a once-off last week. 1.5 hours of traffic to get from Fourways to Sandton. If I was required to do that on a regular basis again I would immediately look for another place to work.

applies to all in the world....Covid put a pause on all the usual background noise and distractions. An internal audit would have been the natural next step, are you just living or flourishing? ...the ease that comes with self awareness makes one lighter, less conditioned... easier to decide on a new direction...even if the way dark as ****, you will make a way...again, do you want to just be living or would you prefer to flourish ?

I've had to come into the office to do audits on some of my systems over the course of this month and leaving at 8am and getting in the office at 8.20am is alright.
What I couldn't do is the getting up at 04:45 again to get to work by 6am. Where I now get up at 05:30 and at my desk by 6am. Sometimes 06:30 as I have meetings that run till 3.30pm. I also don't know what my animals will do after I've been home for 14 months.

This is unlikely. Even corporates are waking up to the fact that if you don't at least have a hybrid WFH model, you are dead in the talent pool.

My believe is if you have access to the internet, you have access to the digital world. Unlimited knowledge and can be (almost) anything you want to be.

I left school in 2007 and moved into a "maids room" in 2008 with only my PC , bed and sleeping bag and borrowing someone's iBurst Internet (don't laugh), living on R500 a month. I taught myself New Zealand Building Code and started working as cheap labour for an NZ Company I've never seen.

2021, I have now partnered with a friend I have never met in person, having my own company registered in a country I have never visited, having qualifications that are not on paper or have a name, doing work for a country I have never set foot on, and have employees I have never met , speaking languages I have never spoken. How?

The Internet.

Surprisingly, I hear many are itching to pull the trigger and bring everyone back permanently. Some are incredibly backward.

Some like the Chinese' employer have really moved well on this and issued new wfh contracts to staff and formalised the process. Some like this are obviously incredibly forward thinking and agile.

Yeah.

I have people that physically dig trenches to install fibre networks. If they lived like you, no-one would have internet.
