There's always a lot of figures thrown around about how many nurses/doctors/etc are considering leaving their job to show how dire it is but I'd be interested to know how that compares to any other profession. In every workplace I've ever been it feels like half the people there would talk about leaving or wanting to leave but never would
No doubt things are in crisis though and it's a very bad situation. I don't really know what the answer is though

I don't think you can assume anything from ambivalence really, at least not any more than you can assume that a non-voter is fine with the status quo government (so "didn't vote" should be considered a vote for whoever is currently in power).
In terms of the staffing crisis, it's not really about people "moaning" about the job and considering leaving -- they ARE leaving. Quitting, retiring early, moving abroad... and the current job isn't attractive enough to bring in new staff. The understaffing isn't theoretical, it's already here and getting worse by the month.
