💼 Is the Great Resignation over?

Happy Saturday! It’s August 5 — people are talking about a possible end to the great resignation, the merits of men’s undershirts, and more.

As always, we’ve summarized and organized the different shades of perspective, so you can see the big picture quickly.

💼 In the news: Is the Great Resignation over?

Workers are still quitting, but less so recently. Is the Great Resignation over?

💼 CNN says the Great Resignation appears to be over, and the rate of quitting is returning to normal. Marketing and tech jobs are starting to look scarce.

💼 The NYT says it’s definitely waning. Workers had secured a lot of power during the Great Resignation, but now the power is shifting back to employers.

💼 But Fast Company thinks the Great Resignation isn't over. It looks different now, though — those with job security are more likely to quit or demand a raise.

💼 The World Economic Forum agrees — the Great Resignation isn’t over. Many people still want to quit, and employers need to step up on work-life balance.

🎽 Cultural trend: Should men wear undershirts?

Should men wear undershirts? Some love them and see them as a must, but others say they’re a fashion no-no.

🎽 Gentleman's Gazette says yes, men should wear undershirts. They keep you warm, they wrangle in your chest hair, and they keep your shirts fresh.

🎽 The WSJ says they're mandatory, because a regular t-shirt won't do. Find one with the right weight and fabric — it should be slim and form-fitting.

🎽 Sloane Men says no way — undershirts give you bacon collar! And if you're wearing a white shirt, the bicep area will look bad. Plus, you’ll be too sweaty!

🎽 But this Quora thread says you should wear whatever the hell you want. You could rock a tanktop with no overshirt — it's stylish, and shows off your arms.
