After a great resignation, industries experienced quite quitting and moonlighting. Now, a trend known as "career cushioning" awaits industries. Career cushioning is the practice of creating a plan B to survive mass layoffs. Many employees lost their jobs because they were trained for one type of technology. In today's digital age, technology is always evolving.
Employees are upskilling and making plans for other careers to withstand unexpected layoffs. They are enrolling in a variety of certification programmes to learn the new skills. Particularly in the tech sector, this trend is seen.
