The Great resignation I believe it's deemed is due to a workforce having more options.
Many of those options were government driven, a government that has laid the framework to allow workers to be treated secondary to profits and "shareholders", a concept of financial making that takes the meaning of a company from producing a product or service with compensated workers to producing a profit, any any expense and cost, without an association to the worker.
This is the US. Better than some in the treatment of the workforce, certainly. But not world leading where other workforces are granted more at the bottom half of the workforce.
And while I allude to the workforce as a class, this is also taking place on larger scales. One of the more visible worker transitions is in the highest levels of professional golf, where outside, and not conforming, money is providing "better", more lucrative opportunities for the workers, ie golfers. Even those at this elite level, industry representing individuals are being chased away by years of corporate culture focused on profits but lacking the creativity to put efforts back into those that make the product and service.
Obviously this happens at the lower ranks than elite professional sports, but until recent years, the company seemed to have the upper hand. Maybe, at the hand of the times and circumstances, not necessarily union or institutionally driven, workers will see their day, and their keep, and society will reep the benefits of a people that are compensated in a fair, and agreeable, for both the worker and the company, manner.
Until then, the people will always sway the industry or the landscape, but the individual is responsible for what they can control and do and produce, and where they do it. To an extent.
