Why Workers Are Quitting Over Return To The Office

If there’s one thing we know about a global pandemic … what we thought we knew, we actually didn’t.

We thought the workplace disruption would be temporary; we initially thought we didn’t need to wear masks; we thought vaccination rates would be higher; and we thought everyone would be clambering to get back to the workplace.

Returning to the workplace has not been as simple as some CEOs might have imagined. Many Fortune 100 companies have called employees back to the workplace and have been met with strong resistance.

There is a massive white-collar shift occurring.

As employees have pushed back, there has been a walk back of those demands by leadership, and they are allowing more flexibility. We’re now in a much different return to work situation with a labor shortage, and employees are using it to their advantage.
