"Even when quitting feels like a slow burn that dances around your mind for months-or even years-the truth is that finally leaving is caused by a sudden spark. Unexpected 'jolts' drive us to rethink our work, often leading to impulsive exits, but we can respond more deliberately to make smarter career moves."
"For most of that time, the results have steadily indicated that around 7 out of 10 people would keep working even if they didn't need the paycheck. However, the pandemic hit, and the number of people reporting they would keep working if they won the lottery dropped precipitously to an all-time low."
