Workers quitting their jobs reached a record 3.9 million by July.

According to the study, 59% were dissatisfied with their jobs, 56% with their work-life balance, and 62% felt restricted and pressurized to work during "office hours" even though they reportedly worked best 
at their convenience, outside normal work timings.
