The Great Resignation was a long time in the making. The warning signs included the ongoing toxic combination of low pay and overwhelming workloads endemic in nonprofit work that leads to exhaustion, mistakes, and ultimately burnout.

AI and other smart tech can make work culture more human, but only if you know how the tech works and focus on using it to do what it does best (answer rote questions online) and allow people to do what we do best (e.g. strengthen relationships, tell stories, empathize with others.).

Hopefully, we’ll fall far short of that number. .
