It doesn't, there were staffing and pay issues in the airline sector long before COVID hit.
But hey don't let me interrupt you talking out of your ass or anything.

Because the actual evidence shows the opposite.
So no, this is almost entirely a function of being overworked and underpaid for it which there were signs of, again, long before COVID hit. The plague is just the straw that broke the camel's back.Surveys have shown that as many as half of unvaccinated workers say they will leave their jobs if they're forced to get the COVID-19 shot, but in reality few of them actually quit. That's according to an article in The Conversation, a nonprofit news organization that covers academic research.
Researchers looked at companies that have vaccine mandates in place and saw that, so far, only a fraction of workers leave their jobs when it comes down to it.
"In other words, vaccine mandates are unlikely to result in a wave of resignations — but they are likely to lead to a boost in vaccination rates," they write.
The problem isn't vaccine mandates or SJWs or whatever peripheral cause you as a business owner are going to point to in order to absolve yourself of the culpability of benefiting from a bad system. The problem is capitalism (yes, even in China. The Lying Down movement is a direct reaction to the increasing pervasiveness of 'live to work' attitudes being propagated by people with capital).

Nothing like a company dumping you during the pandemic to change your view of jobs security and company loyalty. Employers wondering why people aren't coming back is like your ex girlfriend wondering why you haven't come back after she dumped the guy she cheated on you with.
The other funny thing is that the uptick in people quitting recently is proof positive that the increased unemployment benefits weren't the thing discouraging people from going back to work.
But no we have to find any excuse besides coming to terms with the fact that the global economy has normalized a culture of exploitation because otherwise we might hurt the fee fees of a bunch of rich assholes. /s

It's a symptom of a person who gets all of their political info from Joe Rogan.
They might think that being; bald and saying bigoted things, makes Joe a representative of Working Class folks. When he's really just a wierdo being paid a Billion to give people their dopamine hits on Spotify.
When asked on CBS Mornings about the company's vaccine mandate for staff, the CEO of United Airlines also said, "Out of our 67,000 U.S. employees, there are 232 who haven't been vaccinated. They are going through the termination process."
Only the criminally stupid would think that 232 is 25% or 40% of 67,000. But let me brag about my career in corporate finance!

There's no widespread polling on the reasons for increases in people quitting, and we're still in the midst of a pandemic.
Home care workers face deadline to get vaccinated in NY
https://katv.com/news/nation-world/h...ccinated-in-nyALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Home health aides who refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccination are barred from working with patients in New York as of Friday under a new state mandate that one industry group warned could lead to thousands of caregivers losing their jobs.
The mandate, put in place by Gov. Kathy Hochul, also applies to workers at assisted living homes, hospice care, treatment centers and AIDS home care programs. It comes on top of another mandate, implemented last month, that covered hospital and nursing home workers.
About 86% of 244,750 home health aides who provide direct care in New York have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, according to state Department of Health self-reported data provided to The Associated Press on Friday.
Of those aides, 71.3% are fully vaccinated.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/07/ibm-...uspension.htmlIBM told U.S. employees this week that they must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by Dec. 8 or face an unpaid suspension.
The company told workers that it must comply with President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for government contractors.
“As a federal contractor, it is a business imperative for IBM to comply with this mandate,” the company said in a memo sent to employees this week. “In light of this requirement, the policies of many of our clients and partners, and the easy access to vaccines around the country, we will now require all IBM U.S. employees to be fully vaccinated by December 8, 2021, in order to work at IBM.”
No polling on who's quitting ahead of that mandate.
https://www.newson6.com/story/616874...cine-mandates-Some healthcare workers at Ascension St. John said they're looking for new jobs after they said they were not allowed to opt out of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
In July, Ascension said it would require all employees get a vaccine by November or people would lose their jobs.
Many nurses and healthcare workers contacted News on 6, saying their exemption requests were denied and they feel they have no choice but to leave.
"I love helping people," said Rachael Parker. "I'm a people advocate."
Sadly, still falling short of full national statistics. Who's quitting ahead of mandates coming to federal contractors and feared to be coming on all employers with more than 100 employees? Who's quitting because they have children who have no other caretaker when their schools close down for weeks after some staff or kids test positive for COVID?
I know any minor increase in workers quitting jobs is tough to disentangle from pandemic and mandate policy-related reasons. And without large sample size polling, which probably won't be available for another month or two months, it's incredibly hard to lay the blame at cost of living increases not able to be born with current pay. And one labor union strike after contract negotiations fail is the same kind of anecdotal evidence that should be weighed against the other anecdotal evidence of quitting ahead of/concurrent with mandates.
Good inclusion.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time." "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
if this is how we get a general strike going then I'm all for it. all it took was a world wide pandemic to show how flimsy our economy is and how it's geared to only ever helping the super rich, the CEO's and shareholders. like the super rich now control more wealth than the middle class of this country. that's not sustainable. there is either going to be a catastrophic economic collapse or the middle and working class have to fight for their right to survive in this society.
