[HOT TREND] People are quitting their jobs in droves

Since the start of 2021 an interesting phenomenon has been taking place.

People are quitting their jobs.

They're quitting not to go to another, similar job; they're quitting to either go back to school, move permanently out of the city, or to change their careers entirely.

The pandemic, and its lockdowns, have somehow posed interesting questions to people that have got them questioning their motives and loyalty.

A new three-part PBS docuseries explores the current state of work in the US and also asks good questions around what the future of work may look like.

There is also a handy six-part digital series on YouTube that you can follow - tracking the stories of individuals who are redefining the new world of work for themselves.
