The Great Resignation is becoming a “great midlife crisis”

  • We are seeing a complete disintegration of the institutional structures that have kept everything together.

    For many in my circle it is different things:

    “life’s too short for this..”

    “I’m quietly suffering in social isolation from the pandemic”

    “I want more money”

    “I feel hopeless I will ever get anywhere so why bother”

    Conversely there are a cohort who have just dug their heels in and have almost gotten a promo/raise or both almost by default from the sheer volume of churn alone.

  • Interesting how many upvotes this got yet this didn’t make the front page. Wonder if this topic is shadow banned or something from HN.
