I've noticed this a bit myself. I'd say my management is actually pretty good (ikr), and they've basically been beating the owners over the head about wages.
"PEOPLE ARE QUITTING BECAUSE THE WAGES ARE TOO LOW. HERE IS ALL THE EXIT INTERVIEWS THAT SAY THIS. HERE ARE THE FORMAL REVIEWS WHERE PAY WAS BROUGHT UP. INFLATION EXISTS. WAGES ARE RISING. BITE THE FUCKING BULLET."
It's taken months and, oh, 5 people quitting, including an executive.
They are making progress.
Meanwhile, Spectrum is announcing that their entry tech support staff are going to be at $20 /hr. A friend of mine got a job there and he types with two fingers.
"PEOPLE ARE QUITTING BECAUSE THE WAGES ARE TOO LOW."
That has started happening at my job as well. We also have the corpo bean counters at HQ dictating policy and saying that, due to Covid risk, everyone in the warehouse has to wear mask, answer a morning survey to make sure you are "not a risk", and get the OK from corporate to travel to anything (spoiler: most people just dont and pretend they did). It has resulted in not really getting any new people in and low morale among the people who are here, mostly because the pay is lower and we are one of the only places in the region that still gives a fuck about mask.
Its honestly gotten to the point that I am also looking into taking up a warehouse/manufacturing job for a local heavy equipment plant (Caterpillar), which has better pay, laxer rules, and in a lower cost of living county. The only reason I am putting it off and only thinking for the moment is that I dont want to be "that asshole" who quits during busy season. Especially since there are only 2 of us in Returns to do the work.
Here are all the cancellations in the US today: https://archive.is/dj7i1

Their reasoning reeks of bullshit.
Yeah they lose. They should strike. There was a pilot shortage before Covid. They can't be easily replaced either.
