The numbers of employees quitting jobs—or “quiet quitting”—continues to attract headlines.

But new research from Guild’s “American Worker Survey” suggests that these are symptoms of a greater problem: American workers don’t see opportunities to make progress with their current employers and in their present roles.

Guild, which partners with large employers to offer education and support career opportunities to frontline employees, found in its inaugural research that workers are leaving their jobs because they want career pathways and advancement. This comes even as, in the ideal, these same employees claim they would like to stay with their current employers.
