It may not be surprising to know that more than 50% of workers today are unsatisfied with their jobs; but for the most part, people aren’t thinking of leaving either. No matter how toxic the environment, people will risk health issues before they take measures to leave the job they hate. Why is this? Studies show that most people will stay in a job they hate because they don’t believe they’d do better with a different one. But this may be an excuse for the more common reasons why people stay. The five most common reasons people stay at a job they hate is lack of job opportunities, under-skilled, resistant to change, the seniority complex, and fear.

2. MAJORITY OF EMPLOYEES
DISSATISFIED! IT’S NOTHING NEW THAT
PEOPLE SIMPLY AREN’T
HAPPY AT WORK. BUT
WHAT’S SURPRISING IS –
IT JUST DOESN’T MATTER.
MANY WORKERS AREN’T
LEAVING THEIR JOBS.

3. THEN WHY
WORKERS
STICKING
AROUND?
ARE

4. 5.Job Market
Job seekers find themselves in a
dozen interviews on average
while the probability of getting
hired stays flat.

5. 4. Workers
Are
When the average worker thinks about the skills
needed to land a job that’ll pay enough to live and
then leaving a job that may be already footing that
bill—well, you just can’t up and leave right away.

6. 3. People Are
Resistant To
The mere thought of change for some people will
actually raise their heartbeat. Most people will expel
more energy to keep their surroundings the same and
far less on changing the circumstances around them.

7. 2. Seniority
Complex
The seniority complex is the idea of staying in
one’s position or at a company primarily because
the length of time is greater than the majority of
people who work there.

8. 1.FEARFEAR
Fear immobilizes. It is the one
emotion people mask due the
sheer unpleasantness of it. People
often use excuses to influence a
decision rather to admit fear.
