The crux of the article:
> Great Resignation Statistics
The most common reason workers quit during the Great Resignation was toxic company culture (31%).
80% of respondents said the pandemic influenced their decision to resign.
Of employees who quit because of the pandemic, 41% did so because their employer didn’t enforce enough health and safety protocols, while 28% didn’t want to follow their organization’s protocols.
Nearly 1 in 4 people resigned after considering it for just one week or less.
About half (49%) of respondents gave one-week notice or less when they resigned, while 1 in 4 gave no notice at all.
1 in 8 employees ghosted their company completely. However, being ghosted by companies is the second-most frustrating situation when workers look for jobs (30%).
80% of people received a counteroffer from their employer when they resigned but still decided to leave.
55% of employees had a job lined up before they resigned. Of those, a surprising 53% reported a salary decrease, compared to 42% who reported an increase.
Respondents reported an average pay cut of $8,000 in their new role, but many would accept a greater pay reduction. Employees who quit but are still looking for jobs would accept an average pay cut of $23,000.
Workers who changed jobs during the Great Resignation were 47% more likely to be very satisfied in their new job compared to their old one.
56% of respondents expressed some regret about resigning, but if given the option, 58% wouldn’t return to their old jobs or wouldn’t return without major improvements.
A majority (56%) of workers who quit without a job lined up didn’t regret it.
Among workers who resigned during the Great Resignation, 35% still do not have jobs, and 50% of those have been unemployed for six months or more.
44% of people who changed jobs in the past year have considered resigning again in the next six months.

- tablespoon 5y ago>> 41% did so because their employer didn’t enforce enough health and safety protocols > That is scary. We are seeing the rise of authoritarianism. What, exactly, do you mean? That it's authoritarian to not want to work in a place where your coworkers are allowed to put you in danger?

- sbarre 5y agoWait what? Sooo.. you want to work in an environment where there are no rules, and people should just suffer discomfort while trying to do their jobs? Am I misunderstanding you here?
- replygirl 5y agoyes, you are. i'm saying younger people's idea of justice is more retribution than remediation (and not by any fault of our own)
- sixstringtheory 5y agoHow do you know those 41% didn’t attempt remediation first? Awfully big assumption. At the end of the day this is the free market and free association at work.
- replygirl 5y agoi'm not complaining that i don't have to work with people like this
- sixstringtheory 5y agoYou’re evading every rebuttal to your points in attempts to take more potshots. Get out of here with that nonsense.
- replygirl 5y agoyou took my comment on justice literally, as if quitting one's job was the hypothetical retributive act i was talking about. i figured it would be rude to try to correct your own words, so instead of responding to the letter of your comment i responded to its spirit with a quip about free association :)

- native_samples 5y agoYou have to remember that especially at the start, a lot of people were lied to. Even people who became maximally skeptical later on often started out believing that masks were essential, lockdowns worked, etc. They only realized these things weren't true as they discovered the source data and analyses out of it from outside the legacy media. So there's a strong date aspect to this. Still, it's probably a pretty good signal for future employers who are looking for smart independent thinkers. If you were quitting your job for this reason in April 2020 maybe it doesn't mean much. If you were doing it in April 2021 then that means you will blindly accept and even enforce absolute nonsense if phrased in techno-babblish ways, and are quite likely to engage in left wing activism on company time to boot. These are not qualities smart employers will be seeking, but it's very hard to figure out whether someone is like this during interview. If you ask why they quit their last job and they say "not enough COVID countermeasures" and the date was late enough in the pandemic, that's a good sign to pass on them.

- ytdytvhxgydvhh 5y ago> 1 in 4 gave no notice at all > 80% of people received a counteroffer from their employer when they resigned but still decided to leave. I feel like these stats are from disparate studies and are pretty questionable when taken as a whole. I have a hard time believing anyone from the 25% who quit with zero notice received a counteroffer to stay.
- Ancalagon 5y agoAren't those groups disjoint? The 25% who quit without notice didn't technically "resign". They just disappeared. The 75% that gave notice were the group of 80% receiving counter offers.
- dragonwriter 5y ago> The 25% who quit without notice didn't technically "resign". resignation with immediate effect is quitting without notice.
- l0b0 5y ago> 80% of people received a counteroffer from their employer when they resigned but still decided to leave. Whether this is from the whole pool or from those who gave notice, that's pretty staggering. 80% of employees were paid less than they were worth, even considering the businesses who don't give counter offers by principle.
- Gigachad 5y agoWhat they were worth changed quite quickly and businesses failed to keep up. Counter offers do seem a little pointless though since by the time you hand in your notice you are usually completely mentally checked out of the company and have often already signed the next contract.
- quantified 5y agoPrevailing wisdom is never accept the counter-offer. You’ve broken the bond when you give notice, and they’ll replace you as soon as they can.
