By now, many of us have either heard, read about, or have been impacted in some way by the phenomenon experts are calling “The Great Resignation.” Over the past couple of years, millions of Americans have resigned from their jobs to pursue opportunities with more favorable conditions at organizations, they’ve changed fields, and/or started their own companies.
And though each person has their own story behind their reason for resigning, the common denominator appears to be rooted in the fact that these individuals felt undervalued, and decided to prioritize themselves over their job.
