I only know 2 people that have actually opted out of working and for both of them, they are married and made that change for childcare. Personally I took an opportunity to upgrade my title & pay and so have a lot of people in my LinkedIn.

The rhetoric in tech has been that you need to change jobs every few years to keep a competitive pay because companies will reward your complacency with uncompetitive raises. To me it just seems like a lot more people are buying into that now than previously.

I think all the behaviour you mentioned is not part of the GR. Changing desk jobs or getting new title/promotion doesn't have the macro impact I am talking about. It is more about people quitting desk jobs for entirely different sector (farming, nursing, RE development, day trading,....) or just radically cutting out time they work.
