I think this is good to read. the media likes to blow things out of proportion for spectacular reasons. they want eyeballs, and they'll pretend there is a mass quitting movement if it gets clicks. they see the rise of r/antiwork and want in on those eyeballs.
it's mostly boomers retiring after a shakeup in workplace conditions and mass layoffs and rehires
also boomers dying of covid and people scared of covid refusing to work, and a lot of overwork in certain industries causing movement to different industries
