If the lockdown has interrupted millions of people from going to work, it has not interrupted work, nor transformed the imagination of work, always measured on an imperative of vital performativity. The phenomenon of the so-called “Great Resignations”, however, seems to be accelerated by the stop imposed by the pandemic. It is a phenomenon to be analyzed (also for the difficulty of finding some data) and to be understood with research that goes to investigate in depth the changes in work paths as well as the rejection of exploitative working conditions. The hypothesis of a rejection of working conditions and therefore of life is certainly one of the options, but it is to be considered a possible attempt to subvert the value order imposed with practices that express objection and deser- tion from the system. If the public discourse is focused on the lack of supply in labor-intensive sec- tors, the question to be asked goes beyond the mismatch between supply and demand and concerns the conditions considered acceptable today to work.
