Back to the way it was pre-pandemic. I work for a Fortune 100 company with great pay and fantastic benefits (I am on a 6 week paid sabbatical right now). But whereas before people would stay with the company for 5-10 years, now they are leaving in droves (not because anything bad is happening at the company, we are doing great) and nobody is sticking around.

Yes.. but we are talking of people leaving after a few days, this is not the great resignation here.

Here in Europe we call that vacation.

Looking at some of the jobs on 70m I see listings for dishwashers, line cooks, etc. I had these jobs in my youth and saw plenty of people leaving in days or weeks. Post-pandemic I can definitely see people leaving these jobs quickly for a whole host of reasons.

Well, I have enough vacation saved up that I could take 2 and a half months of vacation. That, plus my sabbatical, plus the 10 days of holidays we are given a year, plus the week off we get each summer means I could take nearly 5 months of vacation. On top of that, we get every Friday off as a paid day between Memorial Day and Labor Day (June-August).

That's pretty neat and not common here.
