.@benjaminjackson's job is to go into companies and do one-on-one interviews w/ employees about what's really happening at work. I spoke to him at length about what he's seeing at ground level. I see it as a genuine reckoning of our relationship to work newsletters.theatlantic.com/galaxy-brain/6…
We can't understand why employees leave without first understanding what's actually happening. Enter Ben Jackson — highly recommend this read: https://newsletters.theatlantic.com/galaxy-brain/6181ad85ddc8ee001f6c7839/great-resignation/
In a sea of "future of work" jargon, thinly-veiled marketing and useless blather, finally, somebody making sense. Good stuff from @benjaminjackson

Congrats Ben Jackson! You’re doing some important work in helping to bridge the gap in the employer and employee relationship. Great to see this get more attention!
What a time to be alive! I got so amped reading this interview by Ben Jackson in The Atlantic about this cultural shift we're in. This is just the beginning. This is much more than 'everybody is quitting'. Most people just want CHANGE.
Congrats to @benjaminjackson for launching @hearmeout_co and doing the critical, under-appreciated work of humanizing workplaces at rapidly growing companies. If you're a founder, HR leader, or people manager, I highly recommend his newsletter: hearmeout.email
"...blaming employees for taking the language on a career page at face value isn’t the most pragmatic response."

Want to share this brilliant article written by Charlie Warzel interviewing Ben Jackson, the Founder of Hear Me Out. It's a humbling and powerful read that helped put into words many things I've been mulling over myself, reframing the Great Resignation as the "Great Reset."

If any HR leaders are looking for new ways to engage and understand employees, I'd highly recommend connecting with Ben Jackson. Ben has spent a lot of time in the people space and thinking about people challenges and offers in-depth resources for companies seeking to increase engagement.
