Economic Tensions Rise Amidst Leadership Challenges and Policy Debates

The "Great Stay" has replaced the "Great Resignation," with quit rates dropping below 2% for the first time since 2020. However, many employees feel stuck in their roles, with 65% reporting stagnation, particularly in tech, advertising, and consulting sectors. This dissatisfaction is fueled by a tougher job market, fewer opportunities, and less lucrative job switches, leading to increased employee disengagement and resentment. The situation is exacerbated by mass layoffs and hiring slowdowns, affecting both managers and entry-level workers.
