I think it's a bit of both.
It's not only about the money. Many people are realising just now that they don't get paid enough to take all the crap they get from work.
Anecdotally, I know a handful of engineers who quit their jobs because of this. They were making good money, just not good enough for the number of sleepless nights and stressful days they were going through.
- chasd00 5y agowhat are they doing now though? Eventually, the student loan repayment delay expires, the covid unemployment goes away, any eviction moratoriums expire, and on top of it everything is more expensive than it was. I hope people who are leaving their jobs for less stressful or more accommodating jobs are increasing their income levels as well. There's going to be a big bill due when all the covid relief measures and savings evaporate.

They are working in the same field, just different companies. > I hope people who are leaving their jobs for less stressful or more accommodating jobs are increasing their income levels as well. Again, sometimes wages are not worth the loss in health.
- chasd00 5y agoI understand about wages not worth the loss in health but the bill comes regardless. I guess what you're saying is they were so far above day to day expenses (even adjusted for no pandemic relief and the current inflation) that a the decrease in pay will still put them in the black.
