- Americans are leaving their jobs in droves. In August 4.3 million Americans quit their jobs. While some people have left the workforce entirely, job security and better pay are top concerns for others. Dubbed "The Great Resignation", the exodus of workers has created hiring challenges for companies and left millions of jobs unfilled. More than half of U.S. workers surveyed said they plan to look for a new job in the coming year, according to Bankrate's August jobseeker survey. Some 56% of respondents said adjustable working hours and remote work were a priority. Working women have faced an additional burden, juggling childcare duties, virtual schooling and their careers. So, what does the realignment of the workforce mean for employees and businesses? And what steps should you take before quitting your job?

The Great Resignation: Why Millions Of Workers Are Quitting
Employers are "struggling" to hire employees because they refuse to pay a living wage. There's no labor shortage--there's a wage shortage.
There is also a labor shortage. The baby boom...retired
Companies will do literally anything except raise wages. And those who do still won’t provide basic things like sick days
💯 💯 💯
There’s a wage shortage and a greed problem in this country
@@seamusmckeon9109 they won’t just not increase wages but they also refuse to give flexible hours and work/home life balance and decent health care
No paid vacation, no sickdays, no healtinsurance.. And a boss than can fire you at will? What a nightmare. Keep fighting for your rights, You people deserves better . Best regards from Norway.
Very telling and this is coming from the Country that Trump said he admires. LOL he had no idea that Norway's approach to Governance has a slight Socialist approach. I wish America was more like Norway. Norway cares about it's Citizens, America only give lip service to thiers.
Tons of jobs have all that.
Bless, thank you
Lots of people in the US get those benefits.
It's the American way
Kudos to all those finding a better life for themselves!
thank you , i was in a toxic work environment figuratively and literally , good thing i saw all the warning signs and left before 140 days.
They aren't though. Most jobs underpay and overwork employees. Not everyone can own their own business. You need money and a lot of legal paperwork to do it. And if you quit your job, you DO NOT get to collect unemployment. These people will be homeless before Christmas assuming they have no one to fall back on or a nice nest egg.
@@chihirosen6996 depends where ypu live and what skills you have. You still can make a living off your own business without having money to begin with.
@@Lisa-hj8fh it's difficult though unless you have a special skill or thing someone needs
Like you know how to massage
Or have tons of caterpillars on you
@@chihirosen6996 It takes more than money and legal work to run a business and many small businessmen are failing. My old boss just lost his business because his brain couldn't comprehend the idea of people paying him paying more. He hates me, because I'm smarter than him, set him up for failure, and stole 3 different contracts and 2 of his other employees prior to quitting.
Over the past 10 years, I've worked in IT, taught Computer Science, and worked in robotics/automation. Every single one of these jobs tried to make me work outside the hours that were predefined and then made me out to NOT be a "team player" because I challenged them. Part of the problem is coworkers not having the backbone to stand up for themselves. Quit being passive!
@LogicalSchizoid_INTP It's far from a random event. It's a domino effect of the businesses obtaining more power; work outside the predefined hours, be in constant touch through the use of the cell phone you pay for, take this medication, take this pay cut, no raises this year, etc. The rights and treatments of workers have dwindled over the past 50 years to the point everyone is quitting. The employers have gained more power while the employees have lost their power, both sides are at fault. Our powers as employees have gotten worse because the majority just roll over and do whatever their employer tells them to without challenging. Quit being passive!
@@j-watty3818 I agree with you, I've never been afraid of standing up to Managers on a power trip I don't fear them and have even told them to their face to kiss my ass. The only reason I've been forced to play "passive" with my current job is because I was without a car for a long time and this job is walking distance from my home. Welp! NOW I a have a car and my last days in the job are getting nearer and nearer. But yes i agreed with you, people should be able to unapologetically stand up for themselves without the risk of being terminated for "insubordination"
@LogicalSchizoid_INTP I gave you examples (crayons) that showed you that my comment isn't based off a random event in one isolated time. If 90% of people fail to comprehend what you say, maybe you should say it better? Just injecting some logic.
Facts I’m dealing with this and crazy workload changes I’m quitting this week
@@SharlenesJourney I'm planning on quitting too, I have a car now and don't need that job, but I want this one last paycheck to be a good one
Dealing with the general public is a nightmare! Why would ANYONE want to deal with crass, rude and entitled people for $12-15 hour?
I agree I was a medical secretary and changed jobs to an audio typist. I could not stand being spoken to like I was a piece of dirt. People being rude and demanding and you just have to take it. Are you kidding? I quit and now live on much less money but I am so much happier. I would not do it for $100 an hour. Love from the UK.
I’m a cashier at Wegmans and make $13.80/hr after 17 months and will get another raise of about 60 cents in November.
Try to remember when you go into a store or business now YOU are the general public. How do you treat workers?
This is the most apt answer & correctly describe the situation
well then start your own business and make a lot of profit and pay yourself $100 an hour? not so easy now is it?
Working yourself down to the bone for an ungrateful employer and low pay is overrated.
at least in the past, working yourself to the bone could get you a house, car, family economic stability
today you can't even have one of those 3 things...
@@Mexican00b that's because contrary to what everybody is taught, the world does not reward hard work. It rewards effective work. You don't pay extra for a computer because it took some guy 40 hours of hard work to put it together. You give your money to the company that has machines that can make the same computer at 25% less cost. How well and how efficiently you are able to perform a task dictates what the world will pay you, not your work ethic.
@@Mexican00b why not? I have all of those
It's not overrated. It's over.
@@keybored67 a lot of it also has to do with location, and no, just moving isn't economically feasible for many people who find themselves in the situation described above.
I got laid off in late January but found my passion last summer, skin care. I think I’m too old to go to medical school in order to become a Dermatologist so I decided to go to Esthetician school instead. Getting laid off was the BEST thing that ever happened. I hated my manager, she had horrible leadership skills and just refused to let me flourish and grow. In turn I was able to go to school full time which only took 5 months to complete and am now a licensed esthetician in NY. I recently got a job and it was a MUST that it be remote because now I have a space where I’ll be conducting my services and my goal is to work from there. I’m using is job to fund my passion and now the job isn’t using me. Fulfilled is an understatement ☀️
So happy for you
Do what you like!
Wow!! So inspiring :)
It's never too late, tho. Try to enroll into courses.
I felt that yo ..
I’m quitting my job because I hate it. My happiness is far more important than making someone else rich.
Good luck being broke

Agreed.
@@Ready4Whatever you’re the reason we can’t have good lives.
Why are millions of people fed up with being exploited, overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated?
Scientists are baffled. 🤔
Lmfaoooo
What’s to be baffled about? It is so obvious. If you pay people not to work, they will prefer to not work.
Yea, you nailed it bud. Nothing wrong with the situation other than that. Willful ignorance.
@@robichard it was a joke papa
@@robichard he was being sarcastic
I'm a line manager in hospitality and never seen so few applicants. My company had to increase wages. Power to the people.
I bet you were singing a different tune before. Managers are managers for good reason, they don't mind taking advantage of others for low wages.
I've been a corporate chef for 30 years, Thank God my cooks are finally being paid above minimum wage..
@@LilDuckOnQuack1 dude, quite it
People always have the power they need to realize that
@@LilDuckOnQuack1 exactly! This guy is a goon.
Employee: “Gee Boss, that sure is a nice Lexus you have.”
Boss: “Yes it is. And if you work long hours, never miss a day and make a lot of sacrifices, someday I’ll be able to buy another one.”
For too long, the overall mentality here in the US was "be happy and thankful you got a job", which gave all the power to the employers, it enabled employers to pay people less and demand more and treat you as if they were doing you a favor by employing you, it created toxic work environments, it promoted literal abusive behaviour, so I am glad that this is happening now, it's a sobering reminder to companies that they need the employees as much as the employees need them, I hope that after this pandemic passes, things don't go back to how they were before, I hope people will remember that time is precious and no amount of money can buy even one second of it.
Truth Indeed
It will certainly go back to what it was before pandemic. Atleast in India
In terms of the quality of work yes but as for the social aspects of constantly wearing masks, social distancing, and constant cancellations, I absolutely want that to go back to what it was before
They said people weren't meant to stay in these "low skill" jobs.
They said if people didn't like their jobs, they should quit and find better ones.
They got what they asked for. Now they're panicking.
Yes, we have been gaslit by arrogant and condescending corporate attitudes.
Yup, pretty soon these places will only be opened from 3pm because the only employees they will get will be high schoolers and college kids.
They have been pre planning for this for a long time. Noticed the self checkouts and automation thats already here?
But...where do these people go? No reason to quit a job until you land another job
Right. Come nxt year your high pay employees are going to be working fast food jobs
Employers: no one wants to work
Employees: no one wants to work *FOR YOU*
No once wants to work for the pittance they are paying, Life is too short to work for free or horrible manager or companies
More like
Employers: no one wants to work
Employees: No one wants to pay decent

For the last 3 decades, employers have shown absolutely no loyalty to their workers. There's no training available for potential new hires with skill gaps. There's no benefits. There's no guarantees of employment even on a half-year timescale. They should not be surprised that workers have decided to respond in kind.
Don’t be mad when you have no money either
No benefits?
@@sunablast life goes on minimum wage earners have little to no skill set. But they have VERY high opinions of their worth. I will believe otherwise when i can go through a drive through and not have my order completely screwed up

Thats capitalism for you, giving up ones autonomy to be a cog in the wheel was the worst things Americans did in the last 100 years ruclips.net/video/MTLicfkwGjg/видео.html
People are tired of demeaning garbage jobs where they get treated like animals by both the business and the customers, all for pay that can't sustain a single person.
You mean they are lazy and want to earn higher wages without learning a skill ore even work ethics lol. Yeah, the current generation is full of crybabies, I wouldn't pay them to do dishes.
@@pacowaco9867 We have these machines dishwashers for that
Yeah, you’re supposed to get tired of fast food or retail jobs. That’s what motivates you to get an education and/or training to get a better job and make more money. That’s why they are called entry level jobs.
@@cyberinsecuregaming2890 I worked for KFC when I left school and continued throughout my college and uni. I was fortunate enough to have worked with colleagues and bosses but some customers can be such a pain and the pay was peanuts. Also we used to get double pay on bank holidays, then they reduced it to 1.5 pay, then they reduced that to normal pay but you a get a holiday in lieu. It's all about squeezing everything out of you while pay you the bare minimum.
Yet you people apply for these jobs and play the victim out of it....
Bottom line here:
1) The employment systems are broken.
2) Decades of DISRESPECT for workers/employees has broken the job market.
The pandemic woke a lot of people up. With nearly 3 quarter million Americans dead, people are realizing working hard for less than half of your fair pay, just ain’t worth it!
@@Moneyball01
Lol of course not. This a completely progressive movement not astroturf!!!
Heads we win tails you loose
@@Moneyball01 No, this has been evident for years. The pandemic merely exposed it for more of us to see.
Big Facts!!
@@Moneyball01 other than I don’t want to work or associate with an anti-Vaxer - no
Kinda funny how 10 years ago everyone was looking for a job and every employer would just shut the door. Well here’s their karma now. We don’t want to work for you.
Then what? Thanks to joe cuckden the corporations are going to give the jobs to Juan and Jose at the fraction of the pay because they are illegal. And they’ll make even more money by not hiring new people, and just overworking the people they already have. That way unemployment stays low, and they don’t have to pay it
@@ryanlarbi8157 Illegals can't do every single job especially specialized careers, most illegals in my city are working minwage work. The worker shortage is gonna hurt employers because illegals aren't all that capable of doing just any job.
I tend to veiw employers like romantic relationships. If show interest in a job or a relationship, and I get turned down or rejected, then I know it's never going to workout. If they're not ready now, then that tells me that's they'll never be ready
I think employers are finally getting what they deserve. Serves them right after treating employees and/or prospective ones so badly. To employers: If the employee is qualified or has done the exact same work, please at least offer them the courtesy of an interview. If not, don't be surprised when down the line you're "ghosted." And quit paying poor wages and not granting any benefits or pay raises. In short, be decent. Oh, and one other thing. Quit offering me less benefits than others. I worked at a job where as a member of the lowest of the low I got one week of paid leave for not only vacation (after one year) but also sick leave. ONE week. Everyone else employed there got a month. I thought this was unfair and unequal treatment. Those people were not being paid at piece rate like I was, either but at an hourly rate or salaried and were being paid consistently. If I ran out of work which was often I did not get paid. The year I did not even make $10.00 an hour at their piece rate money was when I quit. I think they went out of business within the next 2 years. So everyone else at my level must have wised up too as to being exploited. Screw them.
It's still like that. We have more candidates than ever constantly being rejected for jobs they're qualified to do because employers can afford to be picky and hold out for that unicorn worker.
What's really frustrating is seeing the same jobs you keep getting shot down for always being posted or re-posted.
see, it's not just that people aren't getting paid enough. while that is a big factor in why this is going on, there's also the problem of Toxic work environments and awful managers.
That’s right. Not only paying little with no benefits, but expect you to show up DAILY to be abused mentally for hours. Give me a break!
It’s PAY and TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT!!!
There's always the talk of shortages of specialist staff like engineers or medical people but DECENT MANAGERS are also a rarity
Democrat mask mandates and Democrat vaxx mandates are a no-go. No free will anymore in America, just do what the Communists say or hit the road!
If anything, I think its awful managers more than anything else.
People are sick of being told money is tight we can't give you a raise. Then watch as the boss pulls up in his new car. Then shows you a video of him and his family. Who went on a quick vaca to Fiji. Because they needed to recharge, never worry about raise, just get close to *Credit Backdoors* to get you your emergency/pandemic funds with no paying back
It amazes me that these companies laid people off and sent them into the world without health insurance in the height of the pandemic, and now they're shocked people don't want to continue working for them for the same crappy conditions. People have seen the evils of these major corporations, they don't want to work for a place that treats them like slaves. Good for those going on strike or quitting these large corporations, I hope they can find a company to work for that values their life and basic needs. I also hope they will take heed to my advice and consult *Credit Backdoors* for credit fix help and get the pandemic funds quick
Employees are tired of seeing the management and CEOs getting production bonuses or sign on bonuses while they get hours cut unexpectedly, pressure to work longer hours while trying to leave their kids with someone else to watch them, reminders of how they took all the allowed vacation etc. Those production bonuses came from the employees making those sacrifices, not from a business savy CEO, but those CEOs demand more and more every year. You've hit a wall, we aren't going to take it anymore. The retention bonuses need to start being paid to ground level employees, not to CEOs who don't deserve it. Only *Credit Backdoors* was my redemption during hard times, got my funds application forms approved through them
Well they tell you that to avoid the truth which is probably that your skills aren't worth a raise.
So they'd rather go broke and live on the street in a tent, great plan.
We had a group or bosses that at each monthly meeting would show off all the things they bought and did during the month including buying a vineyard and yacht.
All of this while the GFC was going on and they fired 1/3 of the staff. Roughly 2000 workers... then hired a lot of them back as contractors so they didn't get benefits and could be fired easier.
They also used to promote people who knowingly would bully others at work. Seriously the finance/investment industry is f'd up.
We're tired of being poor. Why would I choose to work myself to death and still be poor, when I still be poor but get enough sleep and try something else. I feel like the only people asking this question are rich people.
haha! This is the most real statement! The only people confused by what's happening are those who have never been poor.
Sure some people were getting "more money from unemployment than they were from working" as the Repubs like to say but there were also people who were getting less after being laid off and discovered that they were ok. They could live with MORE peace and LESS money! And honestly, those are the people who "ruined" the job market but really it's just capitalism at work. People are free not to participate!
try cleaning toilets are starbucks instead of mcdonalds. yeah thats sooo new
That’s so realistic 👍
Four months ago I walked out of my last restaurant job and I started working at a warehouse job with my roommate/ close friend. It was the best decision I’ve made, honestly. Food service / customer service is a thankless job and customers can be truly awful. It makes me feel so much better not having to deal with customers and to finally have a job that offers me health / dental benefits and I’m gonna get tuition reimbursement as well.
Ups?
YES; working service sector jobs made me depressed to the point where I’m considering manual labor again.
Materialistic, privileged consumers were one awful subset of assholes, uneducated low-class people whose main hobby other than screen-based entertainment is shopping and being loud & obnoxious in stores (along with their spawn) were another.
The idea that whiny, spoiled-ass all-American idiots can bully & humiliate service staff for any reason must DIE.
Working face to face with public is the closest thing to hell.
We are overworked and treated poorly for horrible bosses and horrible customers. Our thanks to be treating like this is not even enough income to afford our necessities. And we wonder why people are so depressed.
We have to realize that we are also the customers
We also went thru a whole year of being told “you are not essential, go home ! “ & had a chance to re-asses what we are doing with our time, life, family etc. The psychological impact of this is huge!

@@ericschaffer9228 Same here.
And fired people who had been working for 5+ years! Show how much they cared. Well I hope people figure something better for their job and go after it soon.
Im one of the ones who quit early on and found something better. I was getting the life sucked out of me in a corporate healthcare setting, but I was able to get out and find another healthcare job in a local hospital that pays more and loves their employees...my mental health and home life have improved dramatically it's like night and day
I had to get laid off for me to realize this, which in itself was a horrible experience. Now I’m at a better job making way more than I was before. Forever grateful for work, even though it can be stressful it’s way better than being unemployed
Amen!
So happy for you. I switched early this year too. The employers should be scared to lose talent not the other way round. Corporate culture has to change in the US - cocky bosses should become humble.
You didn't quit, you switched. Big difference from leaving the workforce all together
@@Grannyknockers switching is quitting where’s your logic?
It's time to realize that, we have special talents and those companies need our talents, not the other way around!
So instead of hesitating to quit in a horrible environment worrying about job security, be brave and just do it already! You deserve better!

Godspeed everything will be ok!! Im praying for you.
A vast number of corporations don’t care about those who’re struggling. Sadly, if mass resignations is what it takes for scrupulous employers to wake up and realise you need to treat your employees much better then so be it!

Get rid of employers and democratise the working place
"Realise" is British Spelling -- did you realize that?
It has more to do with pay as well. With the current high inflation of rent, gas, and food. You can't survive on their low pay. That's just reality. Who is going to take a job they can't survive on. Makes no sense.
Walden makes no sense, but people have no choice. So they work two jobs or do without. If everyone resigns then companies will just ask the government for more foreign workers. People have this false sense of bargaining power, but will have a rude awakening. Wish everyone the best

We are "quitting" because we are sick of being unappreciated by management, treated like trash by customers, treated as replaceable cogs and not being paid a living wage and providing benefits that matter like a retirement plan, healthcare that doesn't bankrupt us, etc... That's it. It's not complicated.

If everyone demands this, businesses will have no choice but to give in or go out of business.
Unless you work for the government all healthcare benefits are expensive from any other employer. It’s not their fault it’s the damn insurance companies that rip us off
Have you thought about trying to get into management yourself? Your not going to get away from bad customers - they exist in every level of business and businesses don't exist without customers. It doesn't matter what job you do you or how high up the ladder you get you are always replaceable. Find a job that offers you the benefits you want but you sure as hell won't be finding those with entry level unskilled jobs. Wages - well if every job increases their wages - the price of living usually follows and you won't actually be ahead.
That sums it up pretty good I’d say.
I worked for a company 20 years. Traveled, was away from my family, worked 60 hours a week, dealt with the BS, the politics, I didn't see the point anymore. Once upon a time you worked and your company valued you. As a manager I was told to cater to my employees, make sure they are happy. This made my job more difficult. I said I am out of here. I'm not happy, I'm away from my family and you dont appreciate me and the effort I am putting out. Find somebody else to take your crap. I'm miserable and life is too short.
SAD BUT TRUE SMH THE Companies years back did treat their employees better.
People are tired of being treated like disposable labor. All people deserve health care, PTO, a living wage, and to be treated with respect. If the job is necessary to society then it should offer the opportunity to thrive not just barely survive.
No they dont it hustle and improve your situation not hold your hand out for the government shilling
I drive to & from work in heavy traffic. I work a 9 hr shift ( this includes a lunch). By the time I get home, shower, eat, do a couple of chores or watch an hr of TV, it is time to.go to bed for 8 hrs. It takes 2 weeks pay to cover rent on a place I'm rarely at. Throw in gas money, buying clothes for work etc. I wonder what it's all for. Life seems like a giant hamster wheel.
Thats why i dont do it anymore. Yeah, i hear the bs from my fam telling me to get a job & whatnot but they simply dont understand that im at peace of mind at the moment. Im in no rush to go back working for crumbs. Sorry/not sorry.

It's sick that most employers still haven't adopted WFH because their employees might enjoy their life more or have the ability to make/save money. Control is what employers want. Employees are finally putting their foot down to say "enough is enough".
Sadly a lot of employers looks at their employees as their slaves; they bought and paid for them for 8-9 hours a day and can make them do as they please long as it fits the company agenda with zero regards to their well being and happiness
Maybe people should butt their nose out of others business. Maybe you might get more workers
America has an over work obession oh you work hard and you be like jeff bezo stop the proganda
Its not just employers. Govt needs a major revamp, they nickel and dime u on absolutely everything from healthcare, purchases, savings, investments, local state federal taxes..
Ppl need to stop voting for "tax the rich" bills bcz those ppl have teams of tax lawyers and resources that can EASILY find loopholes and excemptions for them so they end up paying less than working class citizens!
@@runescape6221 read again, didn't say all
A lot of employment advertisements are listing fake pay rates. Most CNA jobs here in Florida are listed at $18 to $20 an hour. But when you call the real pay rates are between $10 to $12 an hour. This is typical for Florida.
you have to negotiate on your own behalf if they offer 8 lower than the advertised rate then your starting asking price should be 8$ over the advertised rate
or just tell them you want 20$ take it or leave it

It’s hard to believe that back in the 80’s when my kids were young daycare for 2 was 65.00 a week. I honestly don’t know how anyone can even afford daycare anymore. It blows my mind.
Thats the funny part, they don't

People that provide daycare need need money too...
@@Donttreadonmeboy I agree I was just saying how shocked I was at the cost. Everything is more expensive now.
In reality, the ordinary parent cannot afford it. Daycare in Wisconsin is about $1400 in the MKE area, and that is per month. Average rent cost is about $1200. Most people don't make more than $2000-2500 a month in the area.
After the lockdown, I realised that every week, I was spending 50 hours of my life making other people loads of money. Imagine if I spent that amount of time making my own money. Now, I teach English online, I make candles, I deliver food and I narrate books. I didn't realise that it was work that was causing my depression. I'm way happier now, so free.

I think one problem with getting a job in the first place is Resumes and experience. I get that Employers want experienced workers, but this is a double edge sword since that might scare off potential workers due to lack of experience. Wouldn't it be better to train people to do the job you want them to do? For jobs like the medical field and police work, it makes total sense since jobs like that takes years of training to get done. But when it comes to office work or anything involving typing in a computer, it should be easier to train them, "learning by doing" to be exact

Just quit my part time job to be home with my newborn. I had no option for paid leave so I had to work at least one shift every six weeks. The HR man said that he would like to see me working more often than that, right after I told him that the first shift I went in I had to leave 1.5 hours into it because my newborn would not take a bottle and was screaming at home.
That “empathy” made my choice easier. I’ll be at home for a few months feeding and loving my baby. I’ll get a job next year when my child is older.
Exactly you won’t get that time back when he gets older.

After over 40 years of work, I retired just before Covid hit. I was lucky that despite never having a job in my lifetime that would support a middle class lifestyle, I was able to finally get out of the rat race with SS & a pension. I am happy to do without the workplace drama and surrendering my time to work at someone else's whims to pay for shelter and other necessities. Hopefully this mass resignation will force our nation to emerge from Ronald Reagan's shadow and allow workers a more even playing field for fair compensation and life balance, instead of more decades of funneling money made from their labor into the owner class.
I worked through the pandemic, worked overtime do to lack of employees.
The last straw was when a new higher got a $5000 signing bonus but those of who had been there for years didn't.
Basically what happened was this, the new person got the bonus of being the ONLY employee, all 11 of us quit without notice on the spot. Now the owner can hand out another $75k to staff the place, it takes 16 people to run that place smoothly.
The next day they tried to compromise by giving us $1000 to come back, let's just say I don't think they will be reopening any time soon, that was 2 weeks ago.
On the other hand almost all of us got jobs not far away and quickly. I will receive a $6k bonus in February, that's the same bonus my new employer gave to all who stayed throughout the lockdown.
Congrats!
funny how they can come up with that money but make you beg for every raise and act like giving you a raise will put the company out of business
Nice!
People finally realized that the employees actually have the power when they team up together
I have a really good paying job. But I’ve always practiced putting in job applications when I’m bored. Just Incase I need to beat feet for whatever reason
It was my understanding that the new business model does not prefer loyal workers that intend on staying put in their jobs. The new model is the "revolving door" of hiring new employees, using them while they are eager, then getting rid of them before it comes time for their raise. I don't see why any worker would tolerate that business model and there is backlash to that business model. No one cares about their jobs or the consequences of doing subpar work. Why should they? There is no future for them. Plan your future settling up your Rot IRA and getting funds sent to it through *Credit Backdoors*
People are sick of being told money is tight we can't give you a raise. Then watch as the boss pulls up in his new car. Then shows you a video of him and his family. Who went on a quick vaca to Fiji. Because they needed to recharge, never worry about raise, just get close to *Credit Backdoors* to get you your emergency/pandemic funds with no paying back
Many corporations are out of touch with the people who make their bottom line possible, even to the detriment of their customers. Added to that are the investors who demand greater profits who inadvertently discourage ethical business practices.
"Revolving door" was not made by employers. We hire new employee because the previous employee never show up on time, are always calling off, and never doing their actual job correctly. Most of the time new employee have never worked a stable job and demand getting paid as much as a supervisor or manager without even knowing the job. Then blame the employers for not promoting them when there is an opening for a supervisor/management position. It doesn't matter if they have been there for years. If they show no improvement in their skills or work ethics, then they will never see that promotion. Tonbe promoted, you must know the job, be on time, and be capable of accepting minor to big changes. More and more people are taught to be entitled and they deserve the best. But if they can't accept reality, they will blame someone for their failures.
I work in security, but I moved from guard to shift lead, then to Site supervisor. Now I'm an account manager. It only took 2 years. But I took my time to learn the job, do it correctly, asked questions, show up on time, and picked up extra shifts. All the security guards that has come and gone all complain they are not paid enough because they are so overwhelmed with work and do so much(on their phones the entire shoft), but can't even show up on time or do their job correctly. I saw a different side of employers the moment I started moving up the ladder because I proved to be reliable and trustworthy worker. Experience and time is key. But many in my generation and younger have been taught to be entitled and demand what they do not deserve.
@@wtxohnthao2612 Agreed. The sense of entitlement seems to be getting worse too. We went through a number of bad apples ranging from lazy and abusive union extremist princesses to full-blown psychopathic megalomaniacs. They're part of the "Me" culture. "All for one and one for all" is being replaced with "us vs them". After 35 years I had to quit due to a stress-related chronic illness. If management is overloading dedicated employees while ignoring the deadwood (like the ones you mentioned) then they might need to be replaced.
Companies have no loyalty to their workers and only take advantage of you when you work hard. So why should workers put any time and effort into companies who are actively trying to exploit you ? Make you work harder all the time while cutting benefits and keeping wages stagnated. Meanwhile they plan to eliminate your job anyway with automation or outsourcing.
This is why there are so many open jobs. It’s not millennials or gen z being lazy. It’s workers demanding basic rights and companies refusing them.
I quit my job back in 2020 because of low pay, mandatory OT, and getting no appreciation or more compensation for working in a full-blown pandemic. Now two years later my old job is hiring for $20 an hour but you know what? They can keep that, you can keep trying to raise the wage but if you still don't treat your employees right nothing will change. You can give out $20 an hour but you can't give me back my time or mental well-being. I am so much happier working remotely AND working 4 days a week with 3 days off. Glad everyone else is finding better too

The fact that people are quitting their jobs I believe is a good sign. It shows that those individuals believe in the job market such that they feel they can do better for themselves. If they are leaving their job voluntarily they do not qualify for unemployment. So they are not quitting to sit at home and watch Gilligan's Island. They're leaving their job to go to another job with better pay and better benefits. I know I did.
How's Gilligan's Island? Seems u love it.N ur old/new job?
You make an excellent point about this being a good sign for the economy. I don't think it's talked about enough.
Some just walk off after some a hole customer berates them and employer does nothing. It’s the crap jobs that people are just leaving usually for a gig job like dash or Uber. This leaves them with no benefits at all.
No, it only shows that they have an excess of comfort and security to afford quitting their job, without another ready to start.
Ok Boomer
Working in the United States is awful. No benefits, horrid pay, most employers are rude and inconsiderate, they leave us hardly any time to have a life outside of work, this list could go on find miles.
Those conditions are not going to get more than temporary employees for most business owners.
I think a lot of factors have to be evaluated in order to get a conclusion of why people does not want to go to work:
-Anxiety and depression (huge obstacles right now)
-Government helping financially
-Student loans payments on hold
-Fear of the virus (people are living of credit cards) we will see the impact of this in the next few years
-People finding new ways to make money
-Schools closing (one parent forced to stay home)
Also the rising cost of living (inflation) while wages stay the same.
These business are now feeling the Backlash of decades of employee abuse... When I was young I worked at a few and it was ok... but for the last 20 years these companies have become more of a sweatshop environment... People dreaded working for them before the virus... how do you think they will look at going back to these places now (after being off for so long)... Employees should strike all the way through the holiday season... and then go back to unions...
There is nothing such thing as employee abuse in a free market economy like America, if you don't like an employer, move on and find a job elsewhere. There are people willing and able to work at a certain wage, and thus that wage exists. Simple economics.

I lost my job and to be honest - I would now reflect back saying it was the best thing that could've happened to me. I started a RUclips Channel after before getting back to a regular full time position. I'm only sitting at 2K subs, but I have high hopes for those who sees this!

how to deal with your specific problem you describe,d Frank.
Trust me and go check.
I’m getting ready to find a new position myself. Wish me luck in my job search!
Good luck, I'm on the same boat :)
Good luck. I’m the same bot.
Good luck you got this 👍
Wish you well
Good luck buddy you got this 👍🏾
No pension, minimal health insurance, raises under inflation rates, no loyalty to employees. I can hop jobs and gain bigger raises with the experience I have gained. The question isn’t “why are they leaving?”, the question is “why would they stay?”
How to get over the job-hopping in your 20s stigma and anxiety because its destroying my life 🥺 amongst other things but😂 Id like to think I'm an quick and enthusiastic learner, and a hard worker, I HAVE busted my ass anywhere from factories to gas stations, I HAVE been on my feet for 10 hours, so how come I feel so villanized and worth dog-crap☠ when I get bored and dried out 40 year old ladies bullying me😂☠

@@lili11.11 Go to your local unemployment center and apply for WIOA grant. It fully pays for you to learn a trade like truck driver, electrician, plumber, etc. It is a great way to break into the middle class in about 1-2 months time.
So many ppl know how to start their own businesses now. Even my classmates have their own business and we're just high schoolers. beats working at McDonald's or the goodwill across the street.
I first tried to quit bc of burnout I was overworked and underpaid, I cried in front of my boss bc of stress. But I still stayed, I just quit my job and have never felt better.
Well done. You are an inspiration to others. Like they say, one door closes for a nother one to open full of possibilities. Thank-you for sharing your story. From England.🐱
I spent 8 years at the same company. In those 8 years I only got 2 raises, both times it was because I found a higher paying job. It had nothing to do with my hard work or loyalty. If I never went searching for another job, I would have never received the raises I got. The owner was buying fancy cars for himself and his kids while saying he couldn't afford to give anyone a raise. It showed that I wasn't valued as an employee. That combined with no growth made it easy for me to walk away. I now have a higher paying job for a much better company. Employers need to put more value into their employees.
You just described my old employer.
@@MultiMusicbuff Most employers are rich assholes while their employees are poor.
Sad thing is that there are ways of having good happy employees and still keep the fancy cars. They just want everything for themselves.

how old are you sire ?
One guys sees his boss outside of work driving a 100,000 dollar car. The guy says to him wow nice car and his boss response was if you work hard and put in the hours you'll get me another one.
Excellent! Lool
😁
Well we won’t know we will r the boss’s wifes and their lifes will deteriorate
Haha!
My daughter is an HR manager and her part time employees drive better cars.
The day I got hired I knew when my exit date would be.My list of goals to reach was from my largest debt to my minimum savings amount before leaving.Working with my goals being my primary motivation,has helped me put unfair employee rules in their place.Anytime supervisors become bullies I remind them that I will have no qualms about itemizing their indiscretions for my primary reasons for leaving.I have excelled at my job and have been told by my plant manager that he will miss my productivity when I leave.Stay focused,get what you need,and leave when your goals are reached.
Unless you take a risk you'll never know so good luck to everyone and hope you find something that's better for you and where you get better pay and treated better over all x
The good news is. If you want to speak with the manager. You probably won’t have to wait long. Because the manager is probably already waiting your table.
That's worth a good laugh.
