Yeah it’s mostly sunk cost fallacy driving the regret. Elderly leadership who harken for the way they developed their career are the ones pushing the narrative.

Yeah it’s mostly sunk cost fallacy driving the regret. Elderly leadership who harken for the way they developed their career are the ones pushing the narrative. “Think of the children,” “how can we organize in any other way than the emergent reality my career was shaped by,” etc are the real drivers and the sunk cost is used to buttress. Eventually cold hard cash will win out over fallacious thinking.
