Stable careers are a myth and no one wants to be a leader: A new report reveals the depths of worker pessimism with corporate America
Briefly

A recent report from Checkr reveals that a majority of workers see traditional 9-to-5 jobs as obsolete. Over 61% of employees feel stable full-time jobs are myths, with many needing side jobs to meet financial obligations. Disillusionment with corporate roles is prevalent, as 76% find leadership positions unattractive due to burnout and negativity. Despite this, employees are seeking purpose in their work, with many willing to accept lower pay for jobs that align with their values, especially younger generations like Gen Z and millennials.
"For employers, these insights are a call to action," says David Patterson, director of communications at Checkr, in a blog post about the report.
"The climb up the corporate ladder feels outdated, with Gen Z and millennials just about tied at 65% and 62% respectively."
"Around 45% of employees overall said that they would take a pay cut if they had a job that was in sync with their values, but still offered room for career growth."
