THE BIG STORY 'Grumpy staying' |
Workers are staying in their jobs, but some aren't happy about it. As Insider's Juliana Kaplan reports, over the last two years, those dissatisfied workers might have left or quiet quit. But as the job market cools and more companies issue return-to-office mandates, we've entered a new era: "grumpy staying," in which workers begrudgingly skate by. They may not feel much loyalty or trust in their firms — but they're not leaving. |
- Take Microsoft. An internal poll obtained by Insider's Ashley Stewart found that less than half — 47% — of surveyed employees would stay with the firm if they got a comparable offer, down from 70% in November.
- Another poll at Salesforce, also obtained by Stewart, found that just 34% of respondents said the firm did a good job of retention.
- Gallup surveyed 122,416 workers across the world and found that 59% of employees are quiet quitting, and 18% are "loud quitting." Those workers are actively disengaged — but that doesn't mean that they are actually, you know, quitting.

And as AI goes mainstream, these scams will only get more sophisticated.
- Russia is trying to convince the world that Ukraine's counteroffensive is failing. But military experts told Insider that it's much too early to draw any conclusions about the fight. "It's just getting underway," one former general said. "Most of Ukraine's army isn't even in the fight yet."
- Wall Street interns are making bank. Many senior people on the Street are worrying about their futures. But interns are doing just fine: The median wage for interns at Citadel and Citadel Securities is reportedly $120 an hour, and some interns are making nearly $20,000 per month.
