Here's some data:

I'm not gonna claim anything here but do agree what firms / business are mostly complaining about is key employees changing jobs more so than leaving the workforce entirely.

#6In the UK at least there is huge discontent about the recent pension cuts. The salaries already suck (especially in a technical field such as CS), but a 40% cut to pensions as a reward for the efforts put in to handle COVID is just too much.

Maybe you should put forward an affirmative argument of non-existence or continuity with the past, etc. Otherwise, you are just asserting formless skepticism -- with no evidence.

Skepticism is appropriate when there's no evidence, in general. No opinion on this matter.

#9Here in the US, I expect a lot of K-12 teachers to be leaving the field. The additional demands created by Covid were the last straw for many. Their employment contracts are such that they have to give months of notice, so I expect all to be quiet until August, then panic everywhere as slots can't be filled.

The plural of anecdote is not data, but my employer has definitely felt this. In the last year they've lost approximately 25% of empoyees (who were very long-term, not temps and young people only) to retirement and job moves, which is extremely high compared to baseline.
