Agreed. The emphasis on the "quitting" part always seemed odd to me. I guess it is catchier to say "The Great Resignation"? But that sounds like all these people are leaving their jobs and hiking the Appalachian Trail or something.
But the long-term impact for workers is positive in most ways. "The Great Realignment" feels more truthful.
- lastofthemojito 5y agoWe're also undergoing "The Great Reshuffling", coined by Zillow CEO Rich Barton, regarding the physical movement of (mostly remote) workers, creating booms in places like Boise and Bozeman and lowering rents in places like SF and NYC. That isn't quite leaving your job to hike the Appalachian Trail, but for some people it means an opportunity to prioritize living near one's preferred recreational opportunities rather than prioritizing living near one's job. Or others might prioritize living near family, or in a low-tax state, or somewhere they can afford a big yard or a pool, etc.
