If not for COVID-19, Valerie Whitt might never have summoned the courage to quit her job. Office workers everywhere were ordered to work from home, and for the first time, Whitt got a taste of a different life. She had more time to exercise and to plan healthy meals, and more energy for her six- and 10-year-old daughters. Knox said employers are already encountering employees who are enjoying work-from-home and don't want to return to office life, as well as employees who are burned out after a stressful year. He said some employees seem to have used the past 15 months to re-evaluate their life choices, and are now saying "I quit."
