Has there been a load of people quitting in your workplace recently? Seems to be a mass exodus.

Why? UNless your company has no plans to replace them!!

Now if people were being laid off, THEN I;d worry!

Yes, and I've joined them. Two more days left in the current place.

i think its more that in alot of situations the pay and conditions arent decent though

Well they do say its an employee's market at present, don't they?

Meant to be a skills shortage and lot of employers looking for staff, so many folk are probably leaving jobs for better money and conditions.

This is it. It's framed in terms of resignations but presumably all those people are getting new jobs elsewhere.

Plenty of people leaving my work. But there are plenty of new starters too.

I suppose there's a big song and dance when an old employee leaves, but there's not the same fanfare when a new employee starts. But I presume they're both happening at the same rate.

Nope.

Only 1 has left since Christmas.

IMHO now is a seriously dumb time to change jobs, if you have more than 2 years service. There is a big recession ahead, those still on probation will be first to lose jobs once it hits.

People read some story in their weekend supplement about some KPMG lad quitting his job to follow his dream- never anything in the article about the inheritance or wedge he got off the old folks- all not as it seems

happy days, people have had enough of bullsh1t jobs, and are moving onto better things, best of luck to them!

...so if people are completely miserable in their current situation or they simply cant afford to stay, they should stay, no matter what!

Agreed

My boss showed himself to be a complete gent. Great communication, incredibly accomodating and involved us all in the decisions around covid.

Some of my contemporaries did not get the same treatment. Poorly communicated 3 day weeks, lack of work from home equipment, rushed/pushed back to office, no understanding of those without childcare....

True point about the very old people having more empathy for the young. Burning also think nobody is asking the very old to do anything to help the young. Where peoppe in their 50s 60s and even 70s are being asked (probably feel a moral obligation) to support building houses. Better pay for young people etc. Peoppe in those age groups are the ones who are on the better wages and living longer as a group. In previous generations, far more people dropped dead during those decades of, what are now considered, preventable diseases.

Those people live longer and work longer and occupy higher paid jobs for longer. It's grisley, and that's probably why we don't talk about. But we should talk about it even though it's unpleasant. I'm not advocating for old people dieing sooner. But we should discuss the impact of peoppe living longer and understand the consequences.

Two consequences are very clear. One is the lack of available housing because older people are living longer and occupying more houses for longer. The second is that there is far less pay progression and career progression because older peopep are occupying the top jobs with the best pay for far longer.

So the young people are waiting their turn, paying rent to older people so they can have multiple houses, working for older people on poor wages with little pay growth, paying health care and pensions for older people, and being called a gobshyte for not having a better paying job, house and a family already.

And if they move job to get better pay, they have no loyalty or work ethic.
