Spain reaches its record for resignations but only one in four ends up better paid. Resignations of permanent employees have skyrocketed by 296%, those of temporary employees have decreased by 26%.

"In most cases, those who resign do not improve their position or their contribution, or may even worsen. Voluntary mobility of this type is rare," says researcher Florentino Felgueroso. "In cases of great vulnerability, it may happen that resignation is imposed, or it may even have been agreed upon at the beginning," he adds.
