Work: 'Boomerang employees' who quit during the pandemic are starting to ask for their old jobs back

'Boomerang employees' who quit during the pandemic are starting to ask for their old jobs back



Anthony Klotz, the Texas A&M professor who predicted "the Great Resignation," has another projection: a wave of quitters returning to their former employers. These "boomerang employees" may have quit due to burnout and now feel recharged after their time off. The best thing employers and employees can do at this point, Klotz said, is adapt to the future — one that's likely to involve plenty of reunions.

The fact is employers fucked up, BIG TIME with the mind fuckery

RIGHT TO WORK BILL

which was really some george orwellian double speak mind fuckery..

it really shouldve been titled..

THE RIGHT TO FIRE YOU....for any reason even if no reason at all...

and then they were like, oh and if you want to quit, you can quit to for any reason..

THATS WHY EMPLOYESS COULD COME BACK

employers THOUGHT They had the upper hand....

Now they are HOPING employees come back...

ha sure there will be some.. but many aint coming back

unless the offer is too sweet to resist..

the only employers that are going to be ok

are the ones that treated ALL their employees like

humans..

not just management level and up.....

They mean employers are on their knees begging employees to come back with offering them sweeter deals such as pay raises, better benefits, more relaxed environment

Yep and that’s the key employers have to step up if they want to keep a normal workforce. But the pandemic has changed some things forever

The real reason people don't want to go back to office jobs is that while working at home they realized that the tasks they were given in an 8-hour work day only take 4 to 6 hours to complete. The rest of the time is just spent looking busy. It may sound counterintuitive, but for most of us, looking busy is a lot more tiring than actually working.

For retail and restaurant jobs people started to realize that they were scammed as part of a "future profits" hustle. It's the reason why minimum wage applications always ask you "where do you see yourself in 5 years?". It's also why middle management jobs usually come with a positivity/self esteem/goal setting seminar.

These techniques are designed to

1) convince you that the company will allow you to work your way up to the top.

2) convince you that the reason you didn't get that raise and/or promotion is because you had negative thoughts or didn't visualize your goals clearly enough.

The reality is that most companies don't want to give raises because it's expensive. They don't like promoting people because it's easier and less disruptive to hire someone from outside the company who is already trained in those tasks.

Now that most people are away from that brainwashing influence they're starting to see the con for what it really is. The only reason they're claiming "burnout" is because "my employer is in a manipulative pimp and liar" isn't on most surveys.

Whites money running low. That online business or gig economy work ain't cutting it. Whites first hired, last fired, DEFINITELY FIRST REHIRED.

This is why black people need to get up and get some of these good jobs right now if they can but the Job Has to be good.

Is it already happening like the thread title says.... or is it predicted to happen soon ? Not splitting hairs, just not sure and the business insider link wants $$.

It's so much information out there. Just Tuesday I read how people of all income brackets are quitting their jobs. Now it's they're coming back

This isn't anything new. People were doing this where I used to work 15 years ago. They started you out under the industry standard using the lower cost of living in the area compared to places like LA and NYC. So people would leave, come back within two years (so you maintain your seniority benefits) and then they'll pay above the standard because it was seen as you were somehow bringing in new ideas and skills.

Same thing with people who retire/quit and then come back as a consultant or contractor. It was the only way to get a pay increase or more respect. The only reason businesses are freaking out about it now and trying to spin it as people are sorry they left, is because everyone is wise to it and doing it to get a raise, or simply because they now see they have options.

Me: Mr Smithers after some careful considerations and reexaminations, I'd like t return t this great company.

Mr. Smithers: Well we'd surely like you back, but at a considerable reduction in salary and benefits.

This is just a projection that might happen not saying it will happen. These Cacs really think people still want to go back to slave wage jobs and be happy. Remember they projected when the unemployment benefits stop things would get back to where it was before but as we all see they were wrong. The GOP are pointing the finger at Biden saying it was his fault cause he extended it till Sept but they are the ones who started it in the first place to get Votes for the election. These MFs are taking hits that's why the big push to buy Christmas early has started cause Earnings season is coming and they need money so the reports reflect good earnings (STOCK BUYERS BEWARE)

All facts.

Y'all believe this shit if you want to.

It's a puff piece, putting a bunch of hypotheticals together to try to make a story.

The reality is, those people got a new hustle or a better job situation or they left to somewhere they money can work for them.

Wait until X-Mas time...the truth will really come out around then.

Had a meeting with a group in my job from a different department. Round lunch we were just chatting about the future of work and how the pandemic has pushed a lot of companies to change their offerings.

One director who came from another larger corporation said a few years ago, that company was adamant about people being at work 5 days a week. He said they did not budge on remote working. Well, turns out they were losing out on a lot of talent when it was time to hire new people. The top execs finally had a realization that they needed to make a change. They soon loosened their on site work mandate and started offering remote positions. He said they immediately saw an improvement in the available talent that was applying. I mean, how the hell you are going to convince a top NYU graduate with an MBA to move to bumfuck Dakota? Even if they are offered 6 figures, what the fuck is there to do in Dakota to enjoy the money?

I highly doubt everyone who quit their job found something better or a new hustle. But I’m sure some have. Some people were sheep and quit their job just like everyone else but if you didn’t have a plan in place then you probably struggled post job and begging for their shit back.

The Great Attrition is making hiring harder. Are you searching the right talent pools?

The Great Resignation has become the Great Renegotiation. New research identifies five key pools of workers that employers need to attract to fill jobs.

My company (A Fortune 50 Insurance Company) is offering everything they can think of to retain talent except more money.

They now pay upfront for college tuition and expenses (Main reason I'm here).

They will pay for your MBA

We currently have 1 to 2 days in office per month

One of few remaining big corporations still offering a pension

Etc....flip side is at least at my level we are underpaid and they don't promote from within as well as they should.

I don't care. I'm here for my degree and then it's either law school on me or an MBA on them. Then I'm out to see what I can really make, while doing my real estate and investing things on the side.

Even with this year's dip I still have a sizable retirement fund to pull from if I start a business or as emergency fund.

Sure I could go somewhere for more money but I'd rather stay and finish my education without dealing with the fear of the unknown.

Dang. They pay for your MBA? They say that there’s a lot of top tier companies that want to hire more black folk. It might seem uncomfortable but for paid education I’d do it.

I'd be further along if I had just stayed single but you know how that goes . Ran into a few dreamwreckers but it's all about me now.

MUTHAFUCKAS JUST BE TYPIN ANYTHING FOR CLICKS AND A DEBATE J.

 

[christop]

I understand the damn I want to quit this job feeling but unless you have something lined up that doesn't mean you actually do it.

 

[trstar]

Some of these news stories reek of complete bullshit to feed into the anti-woke machine.

These people are not going back to their jobs I could tell you that right now this story is complete bullshit because you still have a lot of people leaving their jobs

 

[TimRock]

I had two people quit in the last week because they accepted fully remote positions.

 

[kinfolk]

The current company I work for has quite a few boomerang employees. I've even seen some leave for just a few months and come back with higher level and a higher salary that would have taken them 2 or 3 years to get had they just stayed and got regular promos.

Funny thing is, I just gave my resignation last week. Both my managers literally told me "you know you can boomerang if this doesn't work out." They aint really got to worry about that though because company remote work policy is bad and they still aint paying real market rates for my role. Dueces mfs.

 

[ballscout1]

keep thinking that the employees that resigned have the upper hand if you want to.

Mofokrs asking for their jobs back will get them at lower pay if they get it back at all.

Again don’t believe that article that’s not happening you still have a lot of people leaving their jobs. The job market in some areas is wide the fuck open. Covid has changed the game.
