I saw a clip and read an article that said people are quitting their jobs in record numbers.  The reasons cited are: wages, working conditions and not wanting to return to a work site after working from home.  It would seem that people don't just want $15 an hour now, but $21 an hour.  They want to have their butts kissed and work from home at their convenience.  

It makes me wonder about the labor market.  This is so foreign to me - when I was beginning my career, I didn't expect to have my butt kissed - if anything, I was expected to do the kissing of the people that would teach me what I needed to know.  When I began working, we didn't even have flex time.  If "the boss" growled at you, you sucked it up.  

I've also been reading articles about how rude people have become, yelling and screaming at employees.  Is this adding to the problem in the job market?  

I'm wondering where all this is going to go.  Any thoughts?
