Money will always be an important factor

We can continue to have all academic research on reasons to resign but please remember this quote. “Money is not everything.” This meant that decisions are not necessary need to be money for EVERYTHING. However, it is in most other things. Many times, people hating their role may still be in the role because they have bills to pay. They still love the car they drive and would not want the car to be taken away. They need a home and would not want to move back to staying in a room.

Many times, people hating their role are still around because the salary they were paid is higher versus all other roles which they have been offered but with a lower salary. Overpaid is certainly an issue for some people and it’s not just about underpaid all the time. If we are doing exactly the same thing every year but we are being paid ever higher, think about this seriously yeah. Demand and supply says that if someone could do the same thing we do for lower pay, this someone would soon get our job instead. It does not even have to be in the same country these days.

Happy resigning or decising or even staying around.
