“Renovated offices gleam, yet the desks you most need filled remain vacant. Experienced, highly educated professionals reject rigid schedules and migrate to employers that align with their modern expectations, according to a 2025 McKinsey study of 9,560 U.S. adults. Veteran talent walks away the moment in-office work policy clashes with autonomy. McKinsey found 43 percent of prime-age employees, between 25 and 54, already work remotely, and nearly 60 percent want the option — an expectation gap of 17 percentage points that widens resignation risk. Among recent quitters, 17 percent left specifically because employers altered working-model policies, making flexibility a top-three trigger for voluntary exits. Seasoned professionals recognize their market value; they refuse to trade control over their environment for a badge swipe.” (10/21/25)
