Bosses are running low on empathy. Some want their workers back in the office more often and are becoming less interested in the demands of mental-health-conscious Gen Zers wanting work-life balance. They have a good enough reason: An era of revenge quitting may be on the horizon, but right now it's an employer's market.

- Some employers are also getting more creative about how they're letting low-performing staff go, engaging in tactics such as "stealth firing" or cracking down on "little sins."
- Joe Galvin, the chief research officer at Vistage, told BI that bosses were under more pressure to ensure their employees are top performers.
- Mona Mourshed, the CEO of the employment nonprofit Generation, told BI workers could protect themselves by investing their time in new skills, particularly in learning about AI tools.
