No, probably not. I think most of the resigned will scurry back to work when the money runs out. But not all. And there is something of long-term interest happening here.
For decades now, productivity and wealth on the whole have been going up. Those with a reasonable level of economic security have had a choice: (A) keep working and buy more and better stuff or (B) work less, spend less, and take advantage of the extra free time. We all know how that’s turned out. We have kept working: buying bigger houses, nicer cars, choicer advanced degrees and so on — again, focusing on those who have a choice.
For me, the Great Resignation seems to be a symbolic event where option B of working and spending less seems to have gained some ground. More people are asking themselves “what’s the point?” The media is focusing on the evil corporations, and while that is true in some cases, I’d say they’re just doing what they have always done. It’s the workers who are changing. That said, there is an opportunity for smart companies to recognize what is happening and adjust accordingly. Demanding that people come back to the office, for instance, is not being very smart. Enough said on that.
Projecting this forward. Short term, many who are asking “what’s the point” will have to go back to work and play the game. But they will be plotting and scheming and looking for a way out. They’ll start talking to one another. And others are going to join them. It might take another decade, but instead of the Great Resignation, we might see the “Great Opt-Out.” And if you want to get really funky for a sec, that could mushroom into an off-the-grid movement. And at that point, dear readers, After Capitalism starts to get really interesting. – Andy Hines
