What is Resignation

This chapter analyzes the phenomenon known as the great resignation or the big quit, which entails the massive voluntary resignations or mass exodus of workers that have been taking place in different organizations across the globe. Although the notion has acquired relevance during the COVID-19 pandemic and is connected to reassessing or revaluating work and the fragility of life, it was first developed in 2019 by Professor Antony Klotz of Texas A&M University. Different factors associated with this phenomenon are described, along with changes that will occur in the world of work in order to deal with The Great Resignation.
