I think too many people ( ones who did not have kids) threw themselves into work since Covid started.

Companies squeezed every ounce of productivity possible from employees.

I imagine most people who had never worked remotely pre-covid did not understand that you need to clearly demarcate you work and personal life when WFH.

Everyone was just thrust into this. And companies took advantage of the market uncertainty to basically exploit folks.

Shame on them and now the workers are retaliating by quitting en-masse, demanding they be treated better.

It's a paradigm shift with some of the power back in the hand of employees.

Heh, even the ones with children.

I agree with the end effect, but I question the intent on companies side. It feels like Hanlon's razer should be applied "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity".

My experience is companies/leaders are just other overworked people who fell into the same trap and allowed their employees to fall into the same trap, and a reckoning (increased attrition) is on the horizon.
