Why are people bidding farewell to familiarity - be it their corporate jobs, homes, or even their relationships? What is causing this urgency to seek change? Explore with us the complex dynamics of these choices, the hidden motivations, and the courage it takes to step out of your comfort zone. We examine the phenomenon of 'the big resignation' post-pandemic and attempt to answer the question - 'why stay?' We delve deep into a discussion about the changing dynamics of work, loyalty, and the transformed social landscape of our offices. We ponder the paradox of the 'devil you know' and the daunting yet liberating experience of daring to seek something new. Furthermore, we touch upon how technology has revolutionized how we seek and find opportunities.In an intriguing analogy to Spanx, we reflect on the importance of authenticity and self-awareness and how altering oneself to fit into societal norms can lead to a loss of self. Do we sometimes suffer a form of Stockholm Syndrome in our workplaces, painting a rosy picture of grim circumstances? Driven by the wisdom of Dr. Maya Angelou, we urge you to muster up the courage to do what needs to be done before you're forced to. Listen in as we navigate these questions and remind you that sometimes it's okay not to take the leap; after all, every change needs to be well thought out and well-timed.https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-keys-my-castle/201204/why-we-stay-stuck-in-unfulfilling-relationships-and-jobshttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-keys-my-castle/201204/why-we-stay-stuck-in-unfulfilling-relationships-and-jobshttps://www.caprelo.com/insights-resources/industry-trends/the-great-resignation-an-analysis-of-job-tenure-over-the-years/Let's all keep searching to expand our view!
