Recession Be Damned: Workers Quit in Droves

Recession Be Damned: Workers Quit in Droves
(Dreamstime)

By    |   Wednesday, 14 December 2022 11:06 AM EST

While the Great Resignation may have peaked and the recession drumbeat gets louder by the day—workers continue to quit their jobs at record levels.

In October, 4 million people left their jobs, according to the Labor Department.

Among workers who have not yet handed in their resignation, more than half in customer relations and IT jobs are looking for another position.

Surprisingly, many of these are not low-paying jobs; some offer more than $150,000 a year, with others close to the $100,000 mark. And all have given employees raises in the past year of at least 3%, with 8% raises at the top of the scale.

Jobs which people are the most likely to leave are in fields that permitted people to work from home during the pandemic and that are now calling them back to the office. These folks found job satisfaction from the option to work from home—and don’t want to relinquish it.

“We’re seeing a slew of resignations from jobs that have forced employees back in the office, suggesting that workers have made workplace flexibility an ultimatum they refuse to give up—and they’re not deterred by recent layoff reports,” says Lexi Clarke, VP of people at Payscale.

But there is an inherent downside to working from home, which is: Bosses expect to be able to reach workers 24/7, Clarke tells Fortune. “Workers who remain in these positions (for now) are dissatisfied, and are likely to be ‘quiet quitting.’”

Here are the top 10 positions where employees are seeking another job:
