Next Year, Employers Likely to See Surge in People Quitting
by: Diane Stafford, Kansas City Star

The job market remains the worst since 1983, but November's unemployment rate improvement — from 10.2 percent to 10 percent — may begin feeding an employee exodus.
Based on surveys, several management consulting and human resource organizations said about half of U.S. workers are likely to try to change jobs next year.

What better proof that this

What better proof that this economy - read "society" - sucks! The decline in "company loyalty" has been in steady decline since the 60's I believe.... What does this say about the waste of "human capital" as the Management Guru's refer to it? Or as I would say, based on the old Romantic view of things, the waste of wonderment and engagement in life? We live lives of "quiet desperation" said the philosopher (Thoreau) and every charlatan has taken this quote to serve their "positive thinking" purpose. But it comes down to this: we strive for dignity but the work we are compelled to do hardly ever achieves the quest we each harbor for personal fulfillment. Another quote from Thoreau: "If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. As if a town had no interest in its forests but to cut them down!" In other words, displace your anxieties about a wasted life to the saloon, and "get to work." AZ
