Part of the Zeitgeist is the Great Resignation. Do you need proof?

A record number of Americans are quitting their jobs because of the worker malaise that has helped fuel the single. Her seventh studio album, Renaissance, will be released on July 29th.

The Great Resignation labor trend began in the spring of 2021, around the time the U.S. economy was getting back to normal.

Americans have used social media sites like TikTok to quit their jobs. Users have shared stories about quitting and sending text messages to their bosses.

Nick Bunker, an economist at Indeed, said of the Great Resignation that it has been interesting.

"Beyonce's track is an example of a broader public awareness about people quitting their jobs, which is reflective of what's happening in the labor market and society."

80% of economists see Stagflation as a long-term risk.

The song "Break My Soul" was the top song on Tuesday.

The Queen Bey riffs on employee burnout in the song.

I quit my job, I'm going to find a new one, and they work my nerves, that's why I can't sleep at night.

Bey uses a sample from Big Freedia's song "explode" to reiterate the theme.

Let go of anger, let go of mind, let go of trade, let go of stress, let go of love.

Fans referred to the Great Resignation on social media. An hour into the work day, I saw why Bey told me to quit my job and become a streamer. I may just do it.

Bey wants us to quit our jobs and make a living on our own terms so she used the song as a launching point for marketing. You heard the woman, right?

A record number of people left their jobs last year.

The pace kept going into 2022. In March, more than four million people quit, a monthly record, and in April, more than three million people quit.

The University College London School of Management associate professor who created the trend when he taught at Texas A&M University cited burnout as one of four factors driving higher levels of quitting.

The overarching story of the last two years is more [one] of workers finding more opportunities and seizing them rather than due to burnout and abandoning work at large.

According to a recent report by a global organizational consulting firm, research shows that people quit their jobs because they aren't fulfilling enough.

Some economists think that pay is a key driver.

According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, hourly wages increased by 6.1% in May, the largest increase in 25 years.

The result of record levels of demand for workers has pushed businesses to compete for scarce talent by raising pay.

Workers have taken new, higher-paying jobs because of the high job openings.

Bunker said that the overarching story of the last two years was more of workers finding more opportunities and seizing them rather than due to burnout and abandoning work at large.

In the past, burned-out workers may not have been able to find a new job quickly.

According to the research center, low pay and a lack of opportunity for advancement are the main reasons for workers to leave a job.

If labor market conditions remain favorable for workers, the wave of resignations may contribute to more resignations.

More than half of employees who stayed after a colleague left said they took on more work and responsibilities.

27% feel less loyalty to their organization, 28% feel more lonely, and 45% wonder if their pay is high enough, according to a survey published in October.
