The Great Resignation. Quiet Quitting. The Great Reshuffle. Great Regret. Quiet Firing. Quiet Riot.
I can no longer keep up with all these buzzwords Iâm seeing on LinkedIn and elsewhere. Every week, thereâs some new fandangled catchphrase trying to capture HOW WEâRE FEELING AT OUR JOBS to drum up content wherever our eyeballs and fingertips wander. I prefer the old-fashioned âburnout.â Itâs a great blanket statement for the hardships many folks are still experiencing as they try to muddle through post-COVID; some might even call it collective trauma or PTSD.
So take a deep breath, listen to the corn song, and enjoy the waning days of summer. Maybe start another farm on Stardew Valley (shout-out to my chickens Colonel Sanders and Botox) while you wait for Haunted Chocolatier to drop. Or listen to the new Freddie Gibbs. Your brain will thank you.
