But more importantly, I'd like to think through the reasons driving the Great Resignation. Below are several explanations with my own assessments. 1. People die from Covid, reducing the labor force. -> Irrelevant for tech workers 2. People get large checks from the gov and are not pressured to find job. -> Irrelevant for tech workers 3. People avoided changing jobs during the pandemic. So the high turnover now is simply making up for low turnover in 2020. -> This does explain the high turnover, but not the significant raises.
