Summary- This articles explains how hard it is to work at a C-level executive during and after first wave of the pandemic. The average job openings in Feb. 2020 (22,072) was compared to those in May 2020 (9,301 - the start of the pandemic) and also those in October 2021 (40,681). This gives you an idea of how many employees are leaving their jobs and how major events in society also impacts those numbers.

3 interesting facts:
1. The pandemic's affect on workers are high, making them feel burned out. This also contributes to the increased percentage of people leaving their jobs.
2. Top executives are in enormous pressure over how to project confidence and stability to scare, isolated and frequently overwhelmed employees. They didn't have any guide or people to help them since this hasn't happened in the past.
3.
America's youngest corporate that are the most ambitious are getting hit hard by this "burnout'. This makes up the huge percentage of those who left their jobs.

This article connects with full employment. This article goes into depth about the numbers and percentages of people leaving their jobs due to the pandemic, events, and personal problems (mainly calling this the "burnout"). People are feeling overworked and overwhelmed.

If someone were to leave a good paying job, what life events or choices would make someone rethink about their careers?

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is full employment because many people who wanted jobs could get it but they were afraid. and my question is , what was the point that really got the CEOs to quit?

# data[].attributes.body
Many people are resigning from their jobs because either the stress level is too high, the pandemic, or people being burnt out. Many CEOs were leaving due to there being no work balance. People were afraid that working for a start-up didn't necessarily mean that they were gonna be promised a job. Many CEOs and people got to really get to know their kids and did not want to give that up.
Three takeaways from this article is how much the pandemic really affected people, How many people got to spend time with their kids that never got to because they worked so much, and how much stress the CEOs had on them to make the business keep going. An economic goal this connects to is full employment

1- I chose article 3 which touched on the extremely high rate that has been present throughout Biden's presidency.
2- The article is briefly talking about the very prominent issue of inflation that has been going on over the past couple of months. Inflation is predicted each year, but not to this extreme. Sadly, this high inflation rate is expected to continue over the next six months. Many people blame the virus and Biden's administration.
3- The inflation rate is expected to continue and rise over the next 6 months. Roughly 10% of the country says inflation’s effects are so severe that their standard of living has been impacted. About 1/2 of Americans say that higher prices are harming their finances.

Nearly 8 in 10 Americans expect inflation to increase over the next six months, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday, suggesting that an issue predominantly emphasized by Republicans that has loomed large over the Biden administration is perhaps crossing party lines.

Although Americans typically predict rising inflation, it's unusual to this degree, Gallup says. The current expectation is the highest the group has ever measured, at 79% of those surveyed, with the prior record set in September 2005.

The estimates come as a growing number of Americans - who have not had to deal with sharply rising prices in decades - have in recent months named the issue as a top problem facing the U.S., doing so at higher rates than in nearly 40 years.

But Americans are still more preoccupied with the government and the coronavirus pandemic, naming them as top issues over inflation. Still, concern over inflation and its longevity are expected to continue to increase, Gallup says, while more Americans will likely report financial hardship, spelling trouble for the Biden administration.

Among those most affected are lower-income households that are less able to accommodate the rising prices, Gallup says. And while just 10% of the country says inflation's effects are so severe that their standard of living has been impacted, about half of Americans say higher prices are harming their finances in one way or another.

Political Cartoons

Meanwhile, Americans view the economy more negatively than positively overall. Just 23% describe economic conditions as good or excellent, while 77% think they are only fair or poor. And around two-thirds of Americans believe the economy is only getting worse.

Top Biden administration officials have taken to blaming inflation on the pandemic and global disruptions to the economy to counter negative polling, while touting such achievements as passage of the American Rescue Plan that put money into the pockets of Americans, rising wages and reductions in household poverty.

But the widespread expectation among Americans that inflation will climb in the next six months suggests that even among Democrats, the issue is top of mind.

According to Gallup, political considerations appear to influence to what degree people say rising prices are "hurting their families." Whereas 60% of Republicans report experiencing hardship over rising prices and a similar share of independence agree, around 36% of Democrats say the same.

Corner office or not, everybody seemed to need a break after 2021. CEOs and other executives have spent the past two years juggling work-life balance like everyone else - and just like employees on lower rungs of the corporate ladder, a growing number are walking away.

"The job of a C-level executive is you're burning the midnight oil. You add Covid into that and it feels like you're doing twice the work for half the payout. You can't get in front of the fires that pop up," said Miles Crawford, former CEO of a staffing company about an hour south of Walmart's home base of Bentonville, Arkansas. Crawford left his job in June when the company was being sold.

In February of 2020, job site ZipRecruiter.com found that there were an average of 22,072 active C-suite level job openings advertised across its network. That number plunged to a trough of 9,301 in May 2020 - and then started to climb, hitting 40,681 in October 2021.

Julia Pollak, chief economist at ZipRecruiter, said a number of factors are prompting people to quit top jobs. "It's many factors - the burnout, the pandemic, the school closures, the need to take stock of life," she said. "It's a whole wide range of shocks."

Top brass at some of America's biggest and most well-known companies aren't immune: Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey announced he was stepping down as CEO in November and would depart the social media company's board later this year. "After almost 16 years... I decided it's finally time for me to leave," he said in a tweet announcing his resignation.

Even corporate chiefs with long tenures at their respective helms are heading for the exits. Jeff Bezos quit as Amazon's CEO in July, Former Disney CEO and current chairman Bob Iger said he would depart the company at the end of 2021, and American Airlines CEO Doug Parker announced in December that he will retire in March.

In December, 106 CEOs left their posts, according to a monthly tracker conducted by executive outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, which noted that this October's 142 CEO departures was the second-highest month on record. In total, the number of departing CEOs in the final quarter of 2021 was up 16 percent on a year-over-year basis. If historical trends hold true, companies will need to brace for an expected wave of CEO departures in January, traditionally the highest month for CEO departures going back to when Challenger started tracking the numbers in 2004.

Experts in human resources say none of this should have come as a surprise. Data indicates that corporate top brass have been grappling with many of the same challenges as their employees - and then some - and that the growing strain of the pandemic is taking a toll. A November Gallup survey found that the percentage of managers who report feeling burned out "very often" or "always" rose.

"We didn't realize that CEOs are employees, as well," said Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., president and CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management. "We talk about employees having experienced 'Covid clarity.' That happened with us, as well, over the last two years. You're under intense pressure and you just say, 'Do I need this?' There is no more work-life balance, especially for CEOs."

There is no more work-life balance, especially for CEOs.

Top executives recount enormous pressure over the past two years not just to steer operations through an unprecedented and disruptive global public health crisis, but also to project confidence and stability to scared, isolated and frequently overwhelmed employees.

"There was no playbook for how to handle this situation, so the challenge was we couldn't look to the past to find any precedent to follow," said Olin Hyde, who stepped down as CEO a year ago from the San Diego-based company he founded in 2013, a sales development platform previously named LeadCrunch (it has since rebranded with the new name Rev).

"Obviously, the pandemic made things stressful for everybody," said Michael Henderson, who left his job as chief technology officer of New York-based Talent, Inc. in December. "I've had a lot of burnout," he said.

Henderson said he struggled to combat lagging productivity and friction between workers. "I've had remote teams in the past, and one of the things I've seen is regardless of how strong the psychological bonds are, after three months, that trust starts to unravel," he said. "Everybody was on edge."

There are indications that this stress is hitting corporate America's youngest and most ambitious talent the hardest: A MetLife survey published in September found that 42 percent of managers in the 26-to-40 year-old age bracket reported experiencing burnout, the highest among the age cohorts surveyed.

Dhruv Ghulati started London-based Factmata, a tech company that uses artificial intelligence to combat online misinformation in 2017, when he was just 25 years old. Prior to Covid, Ghulati already had been exploring the idea of an exit, and had a candidate lined up to replace him in early 2020. When that fell through, it was a heavy blow - and the pandemic quickly piled on the rest. "That also took a lot of wind out of my sails," he said. "I kind of felt stuck."

Ghulati said he struggled with employee retention in the early months of the pandemic. "Working for a startup suddenly doesn't seem like a safe bet," he said, and operational challenges compounded his stress. "I felt like I could only take that many beatings," he said.

Observers say another big factor contributing to the departures is that the role of CEO in the public imagination has shifted radically. "Traditionally, CEOs were responsible for managing shareholders and shareholder relations," Taylor said.

But today, CEOs are finding they have to answer to a much broader contingency of stakeholders that might include employees, customers and activist groups - and are held to task if their views are out of alignment with the zeitgeist.

"Now, you've got employees who want to know if even in your personal life, you're aligned with their beliefs and your value systems," Taylor said. "You really lose any ability to be an individual."

"You're seeing a lot of CEOs assessing the risks and the trade offs," said Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, associate dean at the Yale School of Management and CEO of the Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute. "Trying to navigate their way through a sea of wedge issues isn't what they signed up for."

Conversely, many executives are finding that climbing down from the corporate ladder is the catalyst they need to reinvent or reinvigorate themselves. In April, Ghulati handed the reins over to his right-hand man and began what initially was intended to be a six-month sabbatical. After a period spent taking short-term consulting projects and traveling throughout Europe and Latin America, though, he decided to stick with his new, less-stressful status quo. "I'm surprised at how my experience is still valued by a lot of founders who need support... They want to speak to the people who've been there, in the trenches," he said.

"I've been doing a lot of board and advisory work," Hyde said - a role he, too, said he prefers for the time being. "I'm not in a position where I'm making half-million dollar decisions on a weekly basis. It's a lot easier and a lot less stress."

ZipRecruiter's Pollak observed that the departures often have positive effects for the CEOs themselves. "I think that we're observing what I've referred to as people wanting to balance their lives," she said. "I'm seeing people who have really reevaluated their lifestyle because of the pandemic. I know executives who finally got to know their kids, and they don't want to give that up."

I know executives who finally got to know their kids, and they don't want to give that up.

At just 34 years old, Crawford said he views himself roughly at the midpoint of his career - as well as at an inflection point. "I'm still very young, I'm aware of that... I saw it as sort of a rare moment in life to sort of stop and look around," he said of his relinquishing the title of CEO.

"I think before stepping back into the next 15 years, I'm trying to be as intentional as possible, making sure the opportunity I take will be good for me," Crawford said. "It's taken me a few months to learn how to be present again, to go to the park, go on hikes, spend time with the kids, take them out for ice cream without checking emails on my phone. There's something real about that."
