What's up with Antiwork's rage-quit mentality?

There's a lot of thunder and fury in Reddit's Antiwork community – but you should be paying attention as an employer. [logo_pine_new_2x](113/cxPnN04/VVGynd3f7XB4VFBB601DpwRBW22vCbp4FWFLDN5LPbS73q3n5V1-WJV7CgXgKW4KfgRF3qMJ-kW36NXm16vGvQVW6kLdCs3kXpH3W5cH6gx8kPWBhW2yyMcX5Cf9rtW6zbtvW3LqDf2W4Z394v1nTv9VW5V2hgr50fPQsW1Cmb354ry25NW5GKRQx5ldFn6W4f-gGN30T6_6W5TQvRm8P55SQV9HVB32qv4z4W97YGC78_DkxJW8xQ7md96_mF2W7s73kr1kxG1MW13WJp-2TCG3NW95f9y86cKj5jW620jN12ljg-pW7zw15Y2bvLTM320F1) The rage-quit mentality of Reddit's Antiwork community – what's going on? The Oxford Dictionary defines 'grassroots' as "ordinary people regarded as the main body of an organization's membership." Since the workforce is by and large made up of those ordinary people, it makes sense to listen to their grievances especially in these times. Before you can attract them to your open roles, you need to listen to them and understand what matters to them in a job. So, this month, we share: the top lessons from Reddit's much-maligned but hard-to-ignore Antiwork community; why and how to replicate the freelance work culture in your company; and five tips from a jobseeker resource on attracting candidates to your open roles. And finally – as always – the February edition of the Hiring Pulse is ready for your purview.

It's been cast off as a self-indulgent celebration and a big middle finger to traditional work ethic. But it's not all just noise and thunder – there are some important lessons if you're a recruiter, hiring manager, or employer. To save you time, we've gone in to find these lessons and present them to you.

They're leaving because they're done with the system and want to live a more self-driven freelance life. What if you replicated that in your own company to bring those workers back?
