If you are an employer, you have it all wrong. It is NOT that people do not want to work. People HAVE to work, so that is just dumb. This “great resignation” is because the wrong people are in management and supervisory positions. And then they make their employees lives miserable. Believe it or not, it takes a certain type of personality to be a good manager, or supervisor. Most employers make the mistake of promoting someone who has exceled in their position for a while, then put them in charge of people. It doesn't work that way. These people do not know how to identify talent, and that is a completely different skill set. I myself have done both. I will be the first to admit that I sucked as an employee. Seriously, I sucked. But I exceled at managing people, being able to identity their talents and develop them. Even when they didn't think they could do something, or were scared to fail, I already knew they could and would succeed at it.
THAT is what being a good manager, or supervisor, or anyone who employs people does. If bosses are not vested in their employees, they are not good bosses.
