Disgrunted IT Employees Everywhere

In 2007, about 12% of the IT employees fit in category of “highly engaged” workers, but that has since fallen to 4%. “These […] most critical employees,” […] [are] 2.5 times more likely than the average employee to be looking for new opportunities. […] “The folks at Apple Computer […] are unlikly to be looking elsewhere. […] Employees elsewhere “are going to be shopping for […] purposefulness,” […] A Dice survey of 360 people in August found that over a third were planning to change jobs once the job market improves. (Patrick Thibodeau) [Surveys: IT job satisfaction plummets to all-time low]
