The “great resignation” was always suspect.
Think about it - who would take care of all those people in the western world. I could see it happening in Asian cultures, but in the west? Nah. It’s not in us.
I mean seriously, did we ever check ourselves to think that people would just stay home?
Sure a certain percentage will — and that’s actually a good thing, especially families where both mom and dad worked. Since the cost of child care the and the benefit of caring for your own child is so great.
But with most government subsidies ending, I see a lot of parents getting pretty antsy with grown kids at home.
Let’s get real, people are going to have to get off their tukuses that they have been sitting on over the last few years and head back to some kind of work.
It’s good if they choose something more satisfying, but most people will not have that luxury and the world does not owe us anything.
So back to work you lazy bums!!

- xboxnolifes 5y agoNowhere near 10-15% of people are quitting to stay home.
- mlac 5y agoThey are quitting to change jobs…
- xboxnolifes 5y agoI'm aware, that's why I said what I said and not what you seem to think I said.
- mlac 5y agoRead that wrong. Carry on!
- ghaff 5y agoOr maybe reprioritize what work needs to be done? Losing two employees in quick succession for whatever reason doesn't seem like a rare event at a company.
- machinerychorus 5y ago> So back to work you lazy bums!! IMO most people want to work and be productive, but they don't want to be exploited.
- rob_c 5y agoI wonder how that compares to ant colonies where we know this isn't the case.
