I think the final example is an important piece. Ms Fry, the Morgan Stanley exec, realizes that her position is tenuous, in that it would be nigh on impossible to replace her current gig money-wise while living in Indiana. I think a lot of people have made adjustments based on an assumption of stability in employment. I think employers are fine with this because it gives the employer more leverage in the relationship.
