I would argue it was a great migration over resignation. Vast majority of people aren't quitting the workforce, they are obtaining promotions and raises. People being told they weren't good enough for x, did not do enough to earn y, that the company has never supported remote work; all got to see their management's lie. They are more than qualified for x, they can earn 15% above y, and the entire company is doing just fine where leaders foretold jobloss and company destruction. Fwiw I am commenting on office jobs.
- WorldMaker 4y agoI think it was a massive migration at the "low end" too: fast food places complaining about lack of workers today are at least in part because the workers they laid off early in the pandemic [1] did exactly what you would expect them to do to survive and migrated en mass into "gig economy" jobs that relatively exploded at the same time like Postmates/DoorDash/etc. In some cases those were "raises" too. [1] The other "big lie" about calling it the "great resignation": there were plenty of layoffs that happened (and didn't need to) and burnt employee good will for short term stock concerns.
