26% of people regretting leaving their jobs during the great resignation means that 74% of them don’t.

I keep seeing articles that are like people are regretting leaving their jobs and never should have, because 1/4 is sad about it. These headlines should be flipped. 3/4 people leave their job AND don't regret it. That means most people who leave don't look back and I'm sick of the narrative the case is otherwise. We aren't stupid. 75%ish is over a supermajority. If we were Congress voting on how much jobs suck, it'd override a presidential veto that was contrary. It's like the tech layoffs, a few companies without a business model sink and suddenly Facebook and Google are acting like the entire labor market is sinking in tech. It's all a scam to get us to try to devalue ourselves. If you choose to walk out the door now, do it with confidence. Just like gum, 4/5 workers agree, the job you leave behind wasn't worth it.…
