最近加入大辞职潮(Great Resignation)的上班族们,在找新工作的时候并不像他们最初想象的那么容易,由此引发了大后悔潮(Great Remorse)。

据彭博社(Bloomberg)最先报道,哈里斯民意调查机构(Harris Poll)对2,000多名美国求职者最近的求职体验进行了调查。超过70%的受访者表示,找到心仪工作的难度超出了他们的想象。

所有人都对当前美国的劳动力市场感到困惑。在计划继续从事现有工作的上班族中,近三分之二的人对哈里斯民意调查机构表示,这样做的原因是他们非常喜欢目前的工作,没有跳槽的打算。五分之一的人承认所从事的并非自己梦想的工作,但薪酬和福利丰厚,因此他们不愿意放弃。剩余17%的人称,在理想环境下,他们希望跳槽,但面对不确定的经济形势和近在眼前的经济衰退,他们不想承担失去现有工作提供的财务保障的风险。

他们说的或许有一定的道理。虽然美国公司于今年10月加大了招聘力度,但失业率正在缓慢回升。不妨看看Meta、Peloton、推特(Twitter)和Lyft等公司的大规模裁员,甚至有些公司的裁员人数达到数万人。去年,数以百万计的上班族已经习惯了在与公司的关系中占据上风。目前这种不稳定的状况可能给他们带来冲击。

哈里斯民意调查机构发现,接近四分之三(72%)正在求职者的上班族认为招聘经理失职,因为他们的求职申请经常被忽视,或者招聘经理没有安排面试。因此,约三分之二的求职者后悔没有尽早开始找工作;几乎同样比例的求职者表示,他们觉得去年或者2020年的境况应该更容易。

关键在于,求职是一个漫长的过程。超过60%的求职者称,求职时间已经持续了六个多月,有许多求职者表示他们申请了50多个岗位。

艰难的求职过程和令人失望的结果,导致超过一半(51%)的求职者都说,根据目前的情况来看,他们未来愿意接受任何工作邀请。这是另外一个迹象,表明持续近两年的大辞职潮终于开始降温。

但目前,求职者的情况并没有好转。Joblist在今年7月的一份报告发现,在新冠疫情期间辞职的上班族,有四分之一的人感到后悔。

2022年3月,哈里斯民意调查机构的调查发现,超过三分之一后悔辞职的受访者表示,在新工作岗位,工作-生活平衡下降,新工作与他们的预期有出入,而且他们实际上很怀念原先工作的文化。

这表明,主动权重新回到了雇主手中,雇主们现在最好的做法是做好员工吃回头草的准备,当然前提是不要说这是我的主意。(财富中文网)

The latest workers to join the Great Resignation aren’t having as easy a time finding a new job as they thought it would be, and it’s leading to the Great Remorse.

A new Harris Poll, as first reported by Bloomberg, surveyed over 2,000 U.S. job seekers’ recent experiences with the labor market. Over 70% of them said it has been harder than they’d hoped to lock down a good role.

It’s a confusing market for everyone. Among workers who intend to stay in their current role, nearly two-thirds told Harris Poll it’s because they genuinely enjoy the work they’re doing and have no desire to leave. One-fifth of those workers admit they’re not working their dream job, but the pay and benefits are too good to give up. And the remaining 17% said they’d ideally like to switch jobs, but in an uncertain economy and looming recession, they don’t want to risk the financial security of staying put.

They may have a point. While businesses report robust hiring increases in October, unemployment is slowly creeping back up. Just look at the rash of layoffs—some numbering in the tens of thousands—at companies like Meta, Peloton, Twitter, and Lyft. These unstable conditions may come as a shock to the millions of workers who, last year, had become accustomed to having the firm upper hand.

Nearly three-quarters (72%) of workers on the job hunt, Harris Poll found, believe hiring managers are dropping the ball, often ignoring their application submissions or failing to schedule interviews. As a result, about two-thirds of those job seekers expressed regret over failing to begin their search sooner; about the same amount said they imagine their plight would’ve been easier last year or in 2020.

Case in point: it’s been a long road. Over 60% of seekers say the search has dragged on for over six months, and many say they’ve applied to more than 50 roles.

The frustration and the slog of the job search has led over half (51%) of seekers to agree that, as it stands, they would take any job offer that comes along. That’s one more sign that the Great Resignation might finally, after nearly two years, be cooling off.

But things haven’t been looking up for job seekers for some time now. A July report from Joblist found that a quarter of workers who quit during the pandemic have come to regret it.

And a March 2022 Harris Poll found that over a third of respondents who regretted quitting said that in their new role, their work-life balance had declined, their new job was different than what they were led to expect, and that they actually miss the culture of their old job.

These testimonies all suggest that the power is firmly back in the hands of the employers, whose best bet now might be to warm up to the idea of boomerang employees—so long as they agree not to say I told you so.
