I'm also seeing some of our corporate folks leaving at alarming rates. We can't seem to keep a Director of IT for longer than a few months.
I also feel like our current JIT (Just In Time) management strategy is semi-related. Everything works great, to save money on the front end, as long as everything runs like a well oiled machine. due to supply chain issues, this is not currently the case. This also adds to stress, especially for those in fields related to mine. If a person is able to go elsewhere and work, or find a new profession completely, I imagine this adds to the employ Chinese fire drill going on.

Speaking as a former (now *very* happily retired) IT geek, I wonder how much of this is due to a company's unwillingness to invest in IT. (Not pointing to you specifically.) My former employer (not corporate) looked at IT as a cost to be controlled and trimmed to the bare minimum (IMO, below the bare minimum). A Director of IT who recommends changes/upgrades to security and is rebuffed may decide to leave a sitting duck company just to protect his/her reputation.
