Employees have historically been eager to climb the corporate ladder. But with burnout and workplace stress on the rise, more workers are saying “no, thanks” to advancement.
According to a recent report from HR software company UKG, 40% of C-suite leaders say the stress from their job is so intense, they’ll likely quit within the next 12 months. Thirty-three percent “don’t want to work at all anymore,” and nearly half said they would not recommend their company or profession to any young person they care about. That feedback is not only causing managers to step down, but discouraging employees who previously wanted to step up.
