Most workplaces may be devoid of ghouls and goblins and witches, but that doesn’t mean employees aren’t spooked by the state of the workplace.
A recent poll from job search platform Monster uncovered what’s driving anxiety among American workers. The most frightening concern of 2023? Returning to the office full-time, according to the survey. And the department that scares them most is, unfortunately, human resources. Fairly, 17% of employees said they’d rather run into a ghost than get laid off. At first glance, the data may seem playful, but these anxieties reveal quite a bit about employee sentiment, according to Vicki Salemi, a career expert at Monster.
