- carlmr 6y agoThe question is always why someone is not perfectly happy with a workplace, and what alternatives they have available. You may work in a large bureaucratic corporation, want to work somewhere more dynamic, but you also have adjusted to the large corp salary. You may work at a cool startup, but wish for more time for your family, however the jobs offering a better work life balance are uninspiring. Add to that it takes effort to leave, and less effort to stay, and you have a lot of people "choosing" to stay.
- microtherion 6y agoYes, employers have inertia on their side. But for precisely that reason, sometimes mild irritants end up having disproportionate effects in getting people to leave in a "The Elves Leave Middle Earth" moment.
