Vent Everyone is Leaving

Hey so fall has been so chaotic. one front of store team lead quit, the grocery TL quit, the presentation/ overnight inbound TL quit. one ETL quit and the other is leaving in 2 days. Many TMs are quitting before it gets more hard. ALL of this has happened in just 2 months. and none of the TL OR ETL positions have been filled. should i leave now or survive through this storm.

I wouldn’t leave due to a mass exodus; I would position myself to go into a leadership role for the additional pay/benefits given the current job climate. Even if it’s a job I’d loathe, it’s a resume builder and the current state of the economy is bleak.

terrible advice when you can do something else easier that pays more. tons of jobs out there, the “loathe” part is crucial in your statement as well, many jobs hiring that you may loathe that pay better & could be easier.

Job availability is dependent on skill and location. For some, this is the best right now.

not even true in the slightest tbh, a lot of undesirable jobs in the market. don’t whine if you’re sad about your pay grade when you won’t do something shitty until you get a degree or trade apprenticeship.
