Ep194: How ‘The Great Resignation’ Caused Us to Question Everything About the Way We Work (and How to Quit if It’s Time to Move On) | with Anthony Klotz

<blockquote>“Sometimes the only way you’re going to cure your burnout is to get away from what is burning you out.”</blockquote><blockquote>- Anthony Klotz</blockquote><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/aklotz/" rel="nofollow"><strong>Anthony Klotz</strong></a> is an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at UCL School of Management in London who has made a career of studying resignations. Anthony’s research has been published on a multitude of high-profile platforms such as <em>The Harvard Business Review</em>, <em>MIT Sloan Management Review</em> and <em>The Wall Street Journal</em> (just to name a few). He instantly rose to stardom early in the pandemic for having coined the now ubiquitous term “The Great Resignation” to describe the mass exodus of workers across industries from jobs &amp; careers that no longer suit them.</p><p>When it all comes down to it, the pandemic has given all of us a giant dose of perspective, and in my conversation with Anthony we dig much deeper into how this perspective shift has caused so many to reevaluate the work they do and how they spend the majority of their waking hours. If your work no longer fulfills you - or even worse if your workplace is toxic - it often feels like quitting is the only way out. But quitting is not always necessarily the best option. As Anthony states, <em>“There’s more to quitting than just the decision to leave.”</em></p><p>If we decide to stay despite our shift in perspective, what changes can we make to improve our current job situation? If we decide to leave, how can we do so without burning bridges along the way? Especially in the freelance “gig economy” relationships are everything. In this candid and deep conversation, Anthony provides not only answers but also specific action steps you can take to help you decide if a job is worth sticking with or not, and if it is genuinely time to move on how you can do so without destroying valuable relationships along the way.</p><h3>Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One?</h3><p><a href="htt
