The Great Resignation — which saw droves of workers leaving their jobs or switching careers during the post-pandemic era — is far from over, and job loyalty may be a "thing of the past," as one industry expert puts it.
According to a recent survey by Microsoft, 52% of young people polled, namely Gen Z and Millennials workers, said they were likely to consider changing employers this year. That's up 3% from last year.
Microsoft refers to Gen Z as those who are from 18 years to 26 years old, and Millennials as those between the ages of 27 to 41
In contrast, only 35% of Gen X (42 to 55 years old) and Boomers (56 to 75 years old) say they are thinking of a job change.
The global survey, conducted among 31,102 full-time employed or self-employed workers, was not the only indicator that the Great Resignation is here to stay.
According to another poll by recruiter Randstad UK, almost 7 in every 10 British employees say they feel confident of moving to a new job in the next couple of months and only 16% of workers describe themselves as worried about trying to get a new job.
