Preface (prologue)

About the content

It’s happening #thegreatresignation and #thebigshift– how “great & big” in both tangible and intangible ways is too soon to say. That’s the facts straight. Another fact and fair warning — it is a long read. So, if you favour short 5 points consultant imaginary causal action plans, this is not for you — but at the same time, even more, a reason to read on.

Why is it happening and what are some of the deeper reflections and reasonings — that’s what this essay is about.

Part I

Finds an unusual entry point and continues to discuss some key concepts in our modern human condition to set the scene for the following illumination of the contemporary discussion outset in the great resignation and the big shift. Why are some people ready to resign in a crisis, that is outside themselves?
