These older millennials and younger Gen Zers are resigning for plenty of reasons, according to HBR, including more demand for mid-level workers, a reevaluation among workers of what they want in both their job and life, and a catch-up in postponed job switching now that the dust has settled from the pandemic's economic effects.īut Gen Z, too, has been quitting their crappy jobs in hopes of a better career. An analysis last year by Harvard Business Review found that resignation rates are highest among 30- to 45-year-old employees, increasing on average by more than 20% over the past year. Millennials and Gen Z are on the job huntĪt the center of the Great Resignation are both mid-career employees and entry-level employees. "What happened is that these companies were really trying to fill vacant roles that had been sitting for a long time, so they shortcut the system," LinkedIn career expert Catherine Fisher, said on "CBS Mornings," adding that both employees and employers may have rushed into the hiring process. He added that such desperation may have also led companies to misrepresent work conditions. Desperate to attract workers during a historic labor shortage, "a lot of companies enticed people with pay," Jim McCoy, senior vice president of talent solutions at ManpowerGroup, told USA Today. Workers may also have switched jobs out of desire for more flexibility without examining other factors or purely out of rage after being overworked or underpaid.īut many of those feeling quitter's remorse were seeing dollar signs.
And only 26% said they like their new job enough to stay.Įxperts told USA Today that Zoom interviews make it more difficult for workers to squeeze in questions and limit their sense of a company's culture. A third are already looking to jump ship again in favor of a job with a better work environment or pay, per the survey. Some who aren't fully regretting their decision still seem discontent. Others said their new role is different than expected (30%), that they miss the culture at their old job (24%), and that they didn't properly weigh the pros and cons of quitting (24%). Of those who regret their decision, the majority (36%) felt they lost a work-life balance. Many reshuffled into a different job, but the survey found that some of these workers were lured by the prospect of a higher salary without taking other job factors into consideration. In 2021 alone, more than 47 million American workers jumped ship. A new Harris Poll survey by USA Today that polled 2,000 American adults found that about one in five people regret quitting their jobs during the past two years. Just ask the 20% of job quitters who joined the Great Resignation.
