======================================================================

Tech workers are among the most likely to quit according to a new survey of 
around 1,800 professionals and senior managers from across the UK by software 
company Ivanti. 

According to the study, IT professionals are 1.4 times more likely to quiet 
quit than workers in other professions. This is the act of easing off work to 
the point of sometimes doing the bare minimum while exploring other career 
opportunities. 

This comes as large-scale tech layoffs continue, though to nowhere near the 
scale that they were at the beginning of 2023. The latest layoffs.fyi figures 
indicate that more than 222,000 tech workers have lost their jobs this year. 
Layoffs could soon be met with walkouts 

Its unclear why exactly so many IT workers are likely to leave their jobs. 
For some, it could be the fear of living in a position where they could be 
affected by the next round of layoffs where they instead prefer to look for a 
role with more security. Read more

Others are struggling to meet growing demands in a shrinking workforce. The 
Ivanti study found that almost three-quarters (73%) of IT and computer 
security workers had noted increased workloads, with a large number of them 
experiencing burnout. 

Another indicator is the four in five (84%) who said that they would like to 
continue working remotely at least part of the time. Many companies in recent 
months have spoken out about working from home, doubling back on what they 
had initially promised during the pandemic. 

So far this year, Google Cloud workers have complained about their 
desk-sharing policy that mandates office working two days per week, 
alternating with a colleague, and Amazon workers have protested against the 
companys renewed return-to-office mandate. Here are the best online
