COMMENTARY

Do you think this social and psychological phenomenon is new?

Do you think employers and businesses have blindly neglected this potential problem and issue for so many years, that it finally happened? 

Do you think that this is a social and business evolution long over-due?

In the US news over the last year, much has been reported about the many people quitting their jobs and causing shortages, economic problems and issues.

Many businesses do not have enough employees to do the work needed.

The Covid Pandemic, with its challenges and affecting society and individuals’ lifestyles and sense of safety, has been blamed for much of this.

So has government stimulus and subsidies to help people through these times and help to keep the US economy healthy, been blamed.

Many people who have quit their jobs have moved on searching for better work and jobs that they feel is a better fit for them.

Some people have re-evaluated their life and priorities and have changed their lifestyle to allow them to search for different careers, work, jobs that fit them better in many ways.

Individuals of all levels in career, job and income levels are changing their jobs and careers and lifestyles.

Do you think this social and psychological phenomenon is new?

Do you think employers and businesses have blindly neglected this potential problem and issue for so many years that it finally happened? 

Back in the early 1970’s when I was in my undergraduate university psychology and sociology classes at SIU, Southern Illinois University in the US, I had some excellent professors teaching me.

Back then, I knew that I was fortunate to have such good professors teaching me but as I got older, I realized that the teaching professors were even better than I realized.

Now, I feel so fortunate to have had such high-level learning experience and learned so much from them.

These professors and university classes taught me about what is happening today with todays’ phenomenon of people quitting their jobs, changing their careers, jobs and lifestyles, and re-evaluating themselves and their lives.
