I have been thinking a lot about the Great Resignation. From my experience, people are leaving for more money for sure, but that is just one factor. The main one I have seen is that people have decided that they the culture of the company no longer aligns with where they want to be in life.

While things might have been 'fine' in non-pandemic times, they are now less tolerant of, and resilient to, corporate BS, certain executive behaviours, and internal politics. As a former colleague used to say to me, life's too short.

Many staff know better than management the health (in the broadest sense) of the company, and like the proverbial rats once the ship has foundered near land they know when it's time to get out.

It would be interesting to know if there are companies or sectors where people have not been resigning.
