Every job in every sector is understaffed. It’s the new reality we live in. Not entirely sure what everyone is doing….

Boomers finally retired.

Not wrong. My department was staffed by the same people for 40 years. They all retired at once and now we have a bunch of younger folks who aren’t as eager to settle into one job for the rest of their productive lives. Can’t blame em.

When job hopping gets you 10x the raise it's a no brainer.

Boomers retired and over a million people died of covid

And even more are disabled from long covid, or having to care for someone disabled, etc. and I think a lot of people during the pandemic realized that life was too short to tolerate shitty jobs

You’re not wrong. And the rest of us can’t stay physically or mentally healthy enough to work.
