The number of articles reaching absurdity. Has it always been this way and I am just more aware? 1. People are paid too much 2. No one wants to work 3. They are quiet quitting/lazy girl jobs 4. We have lower unemployment than ever 5. Everyone's getting laid off 6. No one is quitting
To be fair, it does feel like a lot of the quotes in the article are also kind of looking at this through a joking "first-world problems" angle. But that doesn't mean it's any less comical to read an article where bosses now complain that their employees are too loyal.
Even written in a joking manner, it's kind of galling after being told for years that the problem with young workers is that they job hopped and nobody liked that to now see the WSJ ask, "why aren't you hopping jobs more?" It's just so transparent that no matter what the workers do, it's going to be treated as wrong. The WSJ doesn't actually want any specific behavior from workers, it wants something to complain about.
