Why is the resignation of employees increasing due to cancellation of home office?

Since the outbreak of the Corona epidemic, many organizations around the world have offered employees the opportunity to work from home. Outbreaks appear to be exacerbated during this time. Now the authorities are asking the workers to return to the office. But many workers say they will quit if forced to return to office. Last March, a global employer called Robert Huff published a survey. The results of the survey show that half of all U.S. workers plan to quit their jobs if they are forced to return to full-time office.

 An inspiring event took place in early May. Ian Goodfellow, the head of Apple's machine learning division at the US technology company, resigned after being instructed to return to office. Apple has announced that it will be coming to office one day a week from April 11. The decision to make it two days a week on May 2 came into effect. Apple authorities later issued instructions to work three days a week from May 23. Soon after, Ian Goodfellow resigned.

The BBC and Reuters contacted Apple for comment. But so far the technology company has not publicly commented on this. An organization called Blind recently conducted a survey of more than 650 employees of Apple. Of the 850 Apple employees surveyed, 76 percent were dissatisfied with the policy of returning employees to office. In addition, 56 percent said they would consider leaving the job. Experts say they were not surprised. That's why Apple employees weren't surprised by Goodfellow's resignation.

Anita Williams Woolley, an associate professor of organizational behavior and theory at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Business in the United States, said such thinking should have started earlier. "I am not really surprised," he said. I wonder why it took so long for an executive of a big organization to resign over the policy of returning to office. '

But in this case, Goodfellow is not alone. Many other top executives like him are not satisfied with the policy of returning to office. For this reason, they are choosing to quit their job instead of returning to the office. In addition, there are many employees in many organizations who have not yet resigned, but are thinking of resigning.
