What is the Great Resignation?

The Great Resignation is an ongoing economic trend that has seen 3.9 million workers in the US leave their jobs during the Covid crisis in early 2021. The phenomenon has spread to other parts of the world, such as China, Europe, India and Australia. Experts believe that the reason for the “big resignation” is due to various factors, such as wage stagnation, job dissatisfaction, pandemic security concerns – and the desire to find a policy role. working distance. Among the areas hardest hit by staff shortages is the healthcare sector, with 20,000 “burned out” nurses leaving their jobs last year. One of those who resigned, Amy Halvorsen, said there was a “huge gap” between the nurses working on the floor and the administration. The 33-year-old started working as a registered nurse in 2017 and was at the forefront of the Covid epidemic and served in the neurology and trauma unit at Sydney Westmead Hospital. “It was so understaffed all 2021 and when the new waves of the virus kept coming, there was no respite at all,” he said. “Once they finally started emptying the beds, we would hit another wave and there was no future planning from the Ministry of Health or the government to fix it. “We had patients with respiratory problems who needed to be monitored every ten minutes, so it became dangerous.” Ms Halvorsen said conditions were so poor that there were rarely breaks and nurses had to rely on fellow staff to monitor their patients just to go to the toilet. She brought the matter to the management of the hospital, who told her “they do not see the same thing”. Ms Halvorsen said conditions were so poor that there were rarely breaks and nurses had to rely on fellow staff to monitor their patients just to go to the toilet. Ms Halvorsen is pictured protesting for better health conditions “They just see numbers, targets and percentages, not what the health staff is going through,” he said. “They brought in countless nurses to care for patients who had undergone brain surgery. It is dangerous. They say things like “take a deep breath.” F ** k your deep breath – ex Amy Halvorsen “You are already frustrated, exhausted and exhausted and then you have to help train another nurse. “The whole support system was collapsing.” At one point, she was told to contact a consultant as part of NSW Health’s “employee assistance programs.” “Calling a counselor who has less mental health experience than I do and no medical background is not okay,” said Halvorsen. “They do not understand. They say things like “take a deep breath.” F ** k your deep breath. ‘ Ms Halvorsen (pictured with her partner) said there was a “huge gap” between floor nurses and management Among the areas most devastated by staff shortages is the healthcare sector with 20,000 “burnt out” nurses leaving their jobs last year (Ms. Halvorsen pictured in an interview) Ms McKenzie, who also worked as a registered nurse decades ago, said it was a classic example of toxic management. “A good leader will be transparent about what is happening and if he does not know something, he will share the information he has,” he said. “Good leaders will take the time to build strong relationships with their teams. “You have to really know your staff. What are their strengths? What are their values ​​and what are their activation points? New data make it clear that the Resignation phenomenon is unfolding in Australia with ABS revealing that the number of people who resigned to change jobs or pursue a business opportunity was now much higher than the number of people who were fired or fired. Ms McKenzie said that good bosses encourage their staff to share knowledge while bad bosses “make demands” and do not have confidence in their workforce (stock image) CommSec chief economist Craig James said: “The major labor market restructuring is under way. “For the first time, there are more people who say they are unemployed because they lost their jobs than those who lost their jobs due to layoffs, business failure or poor performance.” Attracting and retaining staff will require much more effort than has been used in the recent past – CommSec chief economist Craig James Mr James said employers who did not offer better pay and conditions were at risk of losing staff. “Employers need to be vigilant and a little worried,” he said. “The job market is tight and almost a record number of jobs are vacant and looking to be filled. “Attracting and retaining staff will require much more effort than has been the case in the recent past.” Minimum wages received 5.2 percent wage increase to keep pace with inflation The Fair Labor Committee on Wednesday rewarded Australia with a 2.7 million increase in the minimum wage and up to 5.2 per cent of low-wage workers to keep pace with spiraling inflation – the most generous increase in 16 years. But while the much-needed pay rise is an unexpected gain for employees, business owners are feeling the pressure and say they “can not afford it”. A Sydney coffee shop owner burst into tears during an emotional TV interview, fearing his business would not survive amid rising cost pressures. Phillip Salhab, who runs the Appetite restaurant at Five Dock, tried to show a brave face when talking about the possibility of collapsing on Sky News. He told reporters Peter Stefanovic that he would “keep his tears on the pillow” before finally drowning and admitting: “It would be much easier to close.” Phillip Salhab, who runs the Appetite restaurant in Five Dock (pictured), tried to look brave when he spoke to Sky News about the possibility of a collapse “While we accept the increase in the minimum wage for our team to keep pace with the cost of living pressures, we as a business can not afford it,” he said. “I estimate that they will give us until October 1, but what is the guarantee that everything will return to normal.” From July 1, the country’s lowest paid workers will receive $ 812.60 a week, an increase of $ 40 and $ 21.38 an hour, up $ 1.05. However, the awards in the fields of aviation, tourism and hospitality will not start until October 1. Mr Salhab said he was already paying well above the minimum wage to his staff, as the hospitality industry was facing a huge shortage of staff. “Workers bring us face to face from interview to interview, telling us what has been offered to them and making us match or beat it and we just can’t do it,” he said. “We are looking for a kitchen hand right now and other places are offering … $ 42 an hour, it would be much easier for us to book.” Phillip Salhab (pictured) told journalist Peter Stefanovic that he would “keep his tears on the pillow” before finally crashing and admitting: “It would be much easier to close.” The owner of the cafe said that his restaurant makes the best bacon and egg roll in Sydney’s Five Dock (photo) He added that rising costs for fresh food, including bread and coffee, also make the business unsustainable and …
