“ No One Wants To Work” Man Provides A Point-By-Point Explanation Why Employers Should Stop Complaining
Ieva Gailiūtė and Mindaugas Balčiauskas Around 4.5M workers walked away from their jobs in November, which came out to 3 percent of the American workforce. While quitting rates are increasing in every industry, hospitality, health care, social assisting, and transportation were affected the most. Workers continue to have the upper hand in the labor market, leaving many employers struggling to fill the open positions.

Recently, Augie Ray, a vice president of research in customer experience at Gartner, created a post on LinkedIn that a member of the Anti Work subreddit quickly picked up and shared with the community. Ray provided a point-by-point explanation on why some company leaders should complain less and stop blaming the workers for the difficulties of recruiting and maintaining their employees. He focused on the bosses who are not doing enough to improve the workplace environment, working conditions, and the general well-being of their staff.

The post quickly went viral, amassing 17.1K likes on LinkedIn and more than 130K upvotes on the Anti Work forum. The popular subreddit describes itself as a place "for those who want to end work, are curious about ending work, [and] want to get the most out of a work-free life." Many members of this online community started a discussion in the comments and shared their experiences about companies that show a lack of respect for their employees.

He explained that the bosses should improve employee experience and work harder to maintain the talent they already have, but the key point he wanted to emphasize is that people do want to work. Too often workers have been called lazy, incompetent, or accused of not caring enough. Augie Ray wanted to highlight that people have a desire to work and that leaders should stop demeaning them.

If you haven't heard of the Great Resignation, Anthony Klotz, a professor at Texas A&M University, coined the phrase to describe the wave of people quitting their jobs due to the pandemic. Many started to re-examine the company they were working at, the benefits their job had to offer, and why they work in the first place.

Klotz shared a prediction for what work could look like in 2022 with CNBC Make It. He said that bosses who blame external factors for the turnover and refuse to offer flexible work conditions will be the "losers who struggle in the wake of the Great Resignation."
"A silver lining of this horrible pandemic is that the world of work will take a huge positive step forward for workers," the professor added. "Work will fit around our personal lives rather than our personal lives fitting around work."
Workers have the power in this tight job market.

While employers start wondering how they can find more talent to fill in the open jobs at their company, they might forget to listen to people's needs. According to Klotz, "It's not just about getting another job, or leaving the workforce, it's about taking control of your work and personal life, and making a big decision – resigning – to accomplish that.

People want to work but they want a better work life balance and have the option to go into their offices if they want to. Ultimately companies need to trust their staff are working at home and there are better ways to manage that than spyware.

Being able to take 30 min out of the day to go and stand in the sunshine or plant some seeds or walk the dog or hang out the laundry or whatever - work still gets done, home life is more balanced, we cook more, we're not spending time on hair styling or make up or whatever. I hope your company listens to reason. (Yes, of course I know not every job can be done from home.

The company moved out of its old place early saving £350,000. The lease was going to expire next month and the rent would have gone from £13 per sq ft to £23 per square ft which is astronomical as the old office was huge.

Because if they're willing to move (and I perfectly understand not wanting to move or not being able to) somewhere NOT London is going to make cost of living way cheaper for those who do as well as cheaper for the company. But unless they're offering remote working for those who don't want to move I can certainly see why people are upset.

What with the coming National Insurance rise and the utility bills there is a huge amount of resistance to going back in regularly. If everyone is forced to come in regularly, I can see a huge exodus. Especially as the majority of staff can do their jobs from home.

People want to work but they want a better work life balance and have the option to go into their offices if they want to. Ultimately companies need to trust their staff are working at home and there are better ways to manage that than spyware.

How much of work can be done from home (100% in some cases) and 2. How much TIME and MONEY is saved by not having to commute. Time being perhaps the most precious resource.

Being able to take 30 min out of the day to go and stand in the sunshine or plant some seeds or walk the dog or hang out the laundry or whatever - work still gets done, home life is more balanced, we cook more, we're not spending time on hair styling or make up or whatever. I hope your company listens to reason.

The lease was going to expire next month and the rent would have gone from £13 per sq ft to £23 per square ft which is astronomical as the old office was huge. So they moved to warehouse part to smaller premises and the office to a serviced office.

Because if they're willing to move (and I perfectly understand not wanting to move or not being able to) somewhere NOT London is going to make cost of living way cheaper for those who do as well as cheaper for the company. But unless they're offering remote working for those who don't want to move I can certainly see why people are upset.
