Job satisfaction is a subjective assessment of various aspects of the workplace, reflecting on the emotional and psychological well-being of employees, their work productivity, and even their retention within the company. With the onset of the global coronavirus pandemic, a significant increase in voluntary resignations (the so-called "Big Quit") has been observed. This paper examines job satisfaction both theoretically and empirically. Various theories and organizational features (job characteristics) that influence employee satisfaction are discussed. The empirical part of the study aimed to examine job satisfaction before and after the pandemic, as well as changes in the workplace. An anonymous questionnaire was administered to a sample of 200 respondents. The analysis of responses revealed the segments of work where the greatest (dis)satisfaction is experienced. The negative trend is most noticeable regarding job engagement, salary, workload, and freedom to apply personal methods in job performance. A positive trend is present in the sense of achievement and the ability to express one's opinion to colleagues.
