Is it the massive layoffs? I bet it’s the massive layoffs.

No one wants to work!
Correction: no one wants to work for little to no reward. A broken social contract with zero upward mobility. Benefits of a job well done only go to the fat cats at the top. Many more reasons than these, too.

I retired from a secure union job, because 68 is too old to be doing college web pages. Let some eager 20something have a turn.
That, and the pandemic got me thinking about what's really important.
