A job I used to work at a long time had an enlightening moment for me when I had put my 2 weeks in.
There were two camps of people: those that were happy for me - “wow, awesome, tell me about the new place”
And those that were cynical - “you will end up back here anyway”
I found that the people who behaved cynically truly do end up filtering back in and the people willing to see that other options exist and can even be better end up moving on.
It’s almost as if your attitude and outlook determine your actions.
Like, I get it. Some people were dealt a bad hand, and they have a shitty life through no fault of their own. But there’s a huge difference between “Shit sucks” and "Shit sucks and cannot possibly ever change." If you believe that everybody who has a shitty job is doomed to be stuck with that shitty job for the rest of their life, then you’re delusional. Your beliefs do not align with reality.
