THE GREAT BURNOUT // Louise Allingham from the Daily Mail Australia has interviewed Sally McMullen, Alexandra Hourigan and I on the topic of 'Why Gen Zs and millennials are giving up their day jobs in their droves - even if it means they can no longer afford to pay the bills.' It discusses: ✅ 50 per cent of 'prime' Australian workers, those aged between 25 and 55, are 'exhausted' ✅ a third are thinking of quitting because they are overworked ✅ a 2023 study from the University of Melbourne surveyed 1,400 workers and found workers are increasingly feeling unmotivated, exhausted and unable to concentrate in the post-lockdown era ✅ prime-aged workers are twice as likely to feel like they don't have enough time to complete tasks outside their jobs like life admin and housework ✅ since the lockdowns, which forced many people to look for new jobs, many workers are now increasingly prepared to change jobs repeatedly until they find something suitable ✅ according to The Conversation Media Group, in Australia however, workers were not so much quitting their jobs but wanting to continue working from home, and are reluctant to take on unrewarded extra responsibilities ✅ workers are now struggling to adjust to the higher-paced lifestyle that came from the pandemic and figure out how to slow down again https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/real-life/article-12035607/The-Great-Burnout-Australian-Gen-Z-Millenial-workers-want-quit-jobs.html #thegreatburnout #careers #sueellson
