What is my view about “Great Resignation” and what is my advice for the employees who choose to change their job?

Hello everyone, I’ve got an interesting request from LinkedIn News editor, Andrew Seaman regarding “Great Resignation” movement to share my thoughts and advices for the employee who choose to change their job.

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been many changes in various areas of activity. On the one hand many jobs have disappeared, on the other hand new ones have been set up, some companies have gone bankrupt while others have suddenly grown. What is certain is that the labor market has changed completely, not only the jobs but also the way of working. The famous question “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” it has almost completely lost its meaning due to the lack of predictability. Small and medium-sized companies waited to see what the big companies were doing, the ones who “set the tone”, practically they went into a “hibernation” mode. In all this transformation, some people changed their jobs because they had no choice, others took shelter and consolidated their position in anticipation of a new economic crisis, did not raise other demands, were satisfied that there is a job. There is another category of people, those who saw an opportunity and changed their job regardless of the situation.
