A couple weeks ago during a department meeting, a coworker of mine asked about the vacant position in our department and if they’ve found any good candidates. The position has been open for over two months. My boss let everyone know that they are having trouble getting applicants. She added that it’s because people are wanting to work remote and are avoiding places not offering such.
I made a comment about the great resignation and lots of companies are having the same difficulties. She said “people are quitting their jobs for these full time remote positions and it’s really just an entitlement problem”. Without missing a beat, I said “welp, guess you can call me entitled then”. She looked stunned and tried to back peddle a little.
I have a few interviews lined up in the next week and I fantasize about the day I can quit.
