The tripling of wholesale gas benchmarks in Europe has been more dramatic than its impact on consumer prices, but the link will likely get stronger over time.

The pandemic was perhaps the perfect storm. Suddenly trapped at home, doomsurfing the woes of quarantine, forever logged into work emails—it’s enough to make you want to quit your job, quit social media, quit everything.

But as much as we lamented the toxicity of virtual-everything, we still clung to it like a lifeline or a last breath, desperately inhaling content from the outside world through our screens. Because it was through this medium that, as if traversing the stages of grief, our pandemic-muddled frustrations and manias gradually crystallized into a sort of therapeutic catharsis. Call it, the rise of the “Why I Quit” story: told in online essays, vlogs, Twitter threads, or just about any other digital-friendly platform.

The trend is not exactly new: It’s a storytelling format that has been around since the dawn of the digital age, used by social media influencers, multi-level marketing executives, and self-care coaches to peddle the dream of a major lifestyle change bringing wealth, power, and happiness. Then as the internet evolved, it also became a way for activists to spotlight their causes and call for reform.

Now, in the midst of one of the worst economic and social crises in recent history, it’s serving both purposes, putting names and faces to the legions of American workers leading a 21st-century labor crusade.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, roughly 4 million employees have quit their jobs each month this summer in what’s been dubbed the Great Resignation. In August, 4.3 million workers resigned, leaving a record-breaking 10.4 million job openings. Chloe Shih, a former product manager at TikTok, was one of them; her YouTube video revealing why she parted ways with the company has gone viral this week.

There’s also John Marty, who left his Amazon innovation manager role earlier this year. And Christine Chun, who left her Facebook UX design gig late last year. And Lisa Nguyen, who quit her paralegal job to become a food vlogger.

That so many of these newly liberated job seekers are posting their stories online is hardly surprising. A study from Adobe suggests that Gen Z is leading the worker revolt; for the so-called zoomer population, social media updates are a native instinct. That might explain why there’s a burgeoning TikTok hashtag, #quitmyjob, which cues up a stream of users sharing the moments they turned in their two-week notices, with millions of views awarded to the ones who got most creative with it (a Walmart employee broadcasting over the store intercom, a Joystick Gaming and Collectibles staffer outing a colleague as a snack thief). For those workers, “Why I Quit” stories are an outlet that can transform bottled-up resentment against the system into a simple punchline that makes people laugh.

Striving for change

But the trend is much more than just jokes. Fast Company’s Elizabeth Segran shared why she quit shopping at Amazon in protest of its planetary harm, mistreatment of workers, and crushing of small businesses. In her video, Chloe Shih detailed what she saw as an unhealthy workaholic culture and an unacceptable lack of diversity at TikTok, which eventually pushed her to the brink. And in a recent personal essay, a freelance writer described why she stopped working after a mental health epiphany during a Black Lives Matter march last summer. Because—here’s a radical thought—sometimes quitting could actually make your life, or even the rest of the world, better.

In fact, “quitting” has been a weapon in the fight to illuminate global issues big and small: from psychologists recommending patients with poor self-image delete Facebook, to Grand Slam tennis champion Naomi Osaka forgoing news conferences, to a high-profile sponsored gamer retiring from Fortnite because World Cup tours began to bring more stress than joy.

So perhaps we should celebrate the “quit” not as a flag of defeat, but as a vision of hope for a brighter future and a better tomorrow—even through the darkest nights of the COVID-19 pandemic. Because after all, it’s about time we quit wishing and make it happen.

When a show is on the air for almost three quarters of a century, it’s bound to have its ups and downs. Such is the case with NBC’s Meet the Press, which has survived the advent of color television, 24-hour cable news, the internet, social media, countless format overhauls, and 14 presidential administrations since its first episode aired in November 1947.

The perennial Sunday news program is still a ratings winner in its category, but like any brand that established itself on linear TV, it’s faced increasingly existential questions over the last decade about how, when, and on which platforms viewers will find it—and whether they will even want to. In a fragmented media ecosphere of unlimited streaming choices, how do you keep a brand as old as Meet the Press relevant?  

Chuck Todd says he was asking those questions seven years ago when he was named the 12th full-time moderator of the series. “There’s a memo I wrote in 2014, before I took over the show, when I was asked to what I would do if I were handed the keys, and this was the first thing I identified,” he tells Fast Company. “My theory of the case at the time was that you can’t expect Meet the Press to just be a Sunday show anymore. And really we’ve sort of taken that attitude.”

Since then, efforts to diversify the brand have probably been most fully realized in Meet the Press Reports, a weekly series of long-form, magazine-style reporting, which just began its third season on Peacock and NBC News Now, the network’s over-the-top streaming service for news content. Todd describes it as “Real Sports meets Meet the Press,” referencing the the long-running Bryant Gumbel series on HBO. The series tackles such topics as climate change, the new space race, and activism in professional sports. In the latest episode, launching today, Todd explores the evolving political influence of evangelical voters. “It’s the type of topic you need 30 minutes with,” he says. “You can’t just do it in five minutes.” 

By going deep on a single topic, Meet the Press Reports addresses some of the core criticisms of the traditional Sunday show format—that it’s too focused on presidential horse races, for example, or that its surface-level interviews and rotating guests are more conducive to sound bites than in-depth discussions. Todd himself often bears the brunt of those critiques, notably on Twitter, where it’s not uncommon for clips of his interviews to be picked apart and dunked on by viewers and fellow journalists. For what it’s worth, he doesn’t scroll through the site each week after Meet the Press airs to see if his name is trending, which it often is. “The only time I ever look at Twitter on a Sunday is if there’s some bad call in a football game and I’m curious to see if others noticed,” he says.

NBC News is not alone in strategic efforts to meet viewers where they are. News divisions at ABC and CBS both have free streaming options (ABC News Live and CBSN) that are easily accessable on smart TVs. Fox News has a subscription-based counterpart, called Fox Nation, and CNN is launching its own version, CNN Plus, early next year. Just about every major news show, including Meet the Press, has a podcast, and many shows put their clips up on Twitter, YouTube, or elsewhere for easy consumption. This doesn’t even get us into TikTok, which is likely to be a powerful political force for young voters in 2024, and which many established news brands are still trying to figure out.

It might have been easier to push all this aside five years ago—or even last year—when news outlets were enjoying the famous “Trump Bump.” Add to that the COVID-19 pandemic, historic protests over racial justice, a presidential election in which one candidate wouldn’t accept the results, and the Capitol Hill insurrection, and it’s easy to see why anxious news consumers could not tune 2020 out, even if they wanted to.

News brands have the opposite problem this year. Viewers are feeling burned out and the next presidential election is still three years away. It’s no longer a revelation to say news consumers are living in their own echo chambers, but for brands like Meet the Press that still try to position themselves as nonpartisan, the ever-deepening chasms of our hyperpartisan news landscape will make finding and keeping viewers all the more challenging—today and for the next 74 years.

“This is a moment when we’re fragmenting,” Todd says. “This is both a good and bad thing. I worry about fragmentation as far as how we get our information, but obviously it’s an opportunity for us to do more.”
