Work Life Balance for lack of a better word seems to have undergone a fundamental shift. Not just in medical where I work but in industry and business in general.
The tractor dealership has more work than mechanics.
The days of competing individuals seeking promotion to managerial or career advancement with increased pay/responsibilities have changed.
Capable and proven individuals shun advancement and even step down in favor of shorter work week or work from home options.
As senior level individuals leave the workforce with institutional knowledge it can be a real struggle to replace... often the desire is simply not there and in cases with desire it could be ability is lacking.
I'm seeing this in hospitals, service departments, manufacturing, Telecom, Government, etc.
Maybe it's as simple as changing priorities? Some suggest job burnout where unlimited overtime offered and covering shifts is an ongoing management headache.
The local auto dealership shop rate is $225 an hour and mechanics are compensated well but openings are many...
Seems like it's a good time for those driven to advance.
