They discuss the hiring company’s practice and give users invaluable job advice.
Making the decision to submit your resignation to a job must be carefully reasoned, especially if your income and lifestyle depend mostly on that job.

And it is that, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) In Mexico, only in the first quarter of 2021, more than 566 thousand people decided to leave their jobs.

In fact, the Employment Outlook 2021 of The OECD qualifies Mexico as one of the countries in which more value is given to the time dedicated to work than to the results obtained during that time.
