The grass isn't always greener on the other side. People just need to learn to be more grateful and content with what they have instead of having FOMO especially if they're in a good situation with a fair salary already. No place is perfect and unless you're being abused or want to change careers entirely, there's no reason to leave for another company/job that's dangling a carrot in front of you. It's a disaster waiting to happen and you'll deeply regret it.
Dude why are you focusing on the 1 out of 4 who had a bad outcome and not the 3 out of 4 that had a good outcome? In general, it's in a worker's best interest to leave and this article proves the exact opposite of what you are focusing on. Pure Cringe
This is so true. I do freelance on the side and once got a gig working at a mayor Hollywood production. I made 3 times my monthly salary in one week on that job, but the stress made me say "thankfully it was a temporary freelance gig" Even tho it was a crap ton of money I would not do that as my daily job.
I may make about 10-15 k less than my previous 13 year career but my mental state is easily worth that. I can be with my family not just physically but mentally now. I don’t cry myself to sleep.
I left a very toxic workplace environment after 5 years and not being able to take the mental stress. I would wake up 2 hours prior to work and just sit and contemplate all the bad that was waiting for me. I ultimately left without having a job in place and have been without work for 3 months now. I don’t regret leaving but do regret not having something else lined up.
Grass isn't always greener on the other side but sometimes it is. I changed job with a more stable company, higher career growth, more everyday learning opportunity, and close to 30% raise. I'd encourage ppl to change job but do it wisely.
I left a toxic boss for more pay and I couldn’t be happier. My mental stress has decreased dramatically. Your delivery should of hi-lighted those that refused to go back to work because the unemployment checks were larger than what they were getting paid. Those individuals might or might not have regret. Don’t hi-light the few or 26% that job hopped and complained, not a good argument. I enjoy your show but those articles aren’t the best talking points.
I agree to a point, I used the great resignation to move up in my career (ironically took a pay cut) I think if you were smart you capitalized on these moves.
I think there's a lot of ageism going on these days. I've never had such a hard time finding new employment...ever. It's tough just to get an interview. This is the same resume and interview skills that landed me 2 job offers within the month the last time I looked for work. I can't pinpoint the breakdown.
This take is insane. I enjoy watching the shows under the Ramsey umbrella solely for entertainment. Selling this statistic as a reason to not quit your job is hilarious. Almost 75% of people are saying they are thankful they quit their last job and make more money, but you managed to turn that into a negative reason. Be loyal to a company where you are undervalued and underpaid because you might not like your new job is some of the poorest advice you could give someone in 2022. It’s statistically proven throughout a longevity of a career those that job hop every 2-5 years will eclipse their loyal counterparts in income level. Look out for yourself. The company’s do the same.
I don’t understand the point of this. So most people don’t regret leaving and a small few do. That’s part of life as a whole. But if the majority don’t regret it then is there really a problem with changing jobs if you already looked at the move as a whole? I would argue no.
I only regret I didn't quit five years earlier.
But that means 80% or so of people don't regret it.

Well, I am leaving retail to be a salesman and learn how to sale at a company that I have always wanted to work for.
Left my job... 25k more a year... better schedule.... 26% give me a break...

@guruchaz list only the last 10 years of experience on your resume.
I can't wait to see if I regret teaching ...I know I could go back if I miss it though !

he just said it's not all about the money.
Employers and companies aren't loyal to workers why should I be loyal to them?

Remember, 26% is only in the first year or 2, it will grow in the future.
Only 26% regretted it....74% didn't....
Bingo. Why not focus on the 3 out 4 who found a better a role. Also would you rather be miserable making $20/per hour or $25 per hour?
26 out of 100... that sounds like a win to me...
