This "great resignation" thing is a fake story, a forced trend mainly created by the media after so many people were made redundant during the early days of the pandemic. What happened across the U.S. is that millions of people were paid more money in unemployment than they would have from working. Bartenders refrained from taking more hours because they could get partial unemployment. Not in every state, mind you, but most of them. So, when I say this is a fake narrative, I mean that it's written to convey it from an angle of volition and choice, when the primary factor in the "great resignation" is that it was governments, states, and cities that haphazardly shut things down and disrupted work. And I suspect stories like these are a way to retroactively shuffle off the blame, considering the general public has lost so much trust in traditional media.
