> Though pay is important, money alone isn't the solution. Some very well-paid people are among the most disengaged, and disengaged white-collar workers are slightly more likely than others to be looking for a job.
Two things here:
- Well-paid could still be under the market (happens a lot in software)
- If you're well-off it's easier to not depend on your job
If it's mostly the first problem, paying more will solve your problem.
- mywittyname 5y agoI was in the first camp. Basically, well paid in absolute terms, but shite pay relative to other people in technology. Once WFH opened up my options, it took me all of week to find a position paying 2x as much. Surprisingly, they company I left has no problem replacing me in about as much time. Though, I'm not sure if my replacement was paid more than I was. I did cite pay as my sole reason for leaving, so it is possible.
