Old News: “No One Wants to Work Anymore“
And if the Great Resignation is getting long in the tooth…there’s another piece of conventual wisdom that may also be a myth; namely, that “no one wants to work anymore.” Suzanne Lucas, aka the “Evil HR Lady” says this complaint is hardly a new one. Take a few minutes for “The Truth Behind ‘No one Wants to Work Anymore.”
The Once and Future “Great Resignation”
One of the after effects of Covid has been the “Great Resignation”…except that it’s not really an after effect. It’s been going for over twenty years. The pandemic merely accelerated a trend that is much more than an artifact of Covid.
