Headlines about ‘great resignation’ tend to ignore that people are moving jobs not quitting work. We believe many people are making  choices about what work they want in their lives.

We discuss four reasons:  1) toxic workplaces 2) lifestyle and remote work 3) downstepping and 4) early retirement.

We note that recruiters are toxic arms dealers –  hunting people to increase fee revenue and creating the movement. Companies that outsource recruitment are actually increasing the number of people leaving.
