When the economy and job market began storming back, we were inundated with inbound requests for our services. Our perseverance seemed to be paying off. Except now we were hit with a new gut punch: “The Great Resignation.” Now our workers were reticent to come back to work. And if they did accept a job, they’d often leave after only a few days.

As in the workers you placed, employees of 70MR? Why would they leave after a few days? Can you expand on this?

It became obvious that we lacked the resources to weather this new storm while hoping and praying the world would normalize soon. (It still hasn’t.)

What does normalize mean to you (or 70MR)?

I would also like more information about this phenomenon.

What’s the scale of this? For example, how many people accepted a job and then quit within a few days?

How did it impact these people’s lives? For example, did this result in increased recidivism? If so, at what scale?

I had a conversation with an HR friend of mine recently. According to her, she is inundated with fake requests for unemployment from people that never worked at her employer. Or people join, then quit promptly and apply for unemployment. This is in California.

I would think the state would have protections against this type of thing, but maybe not.

You have to be "unemployed through no fault of your own" to be eligible for unemployment.
