Better the devil you know?
Have you ever thought back to a previous job role, company or manager… and felt a wave of relief that you’re no longer in that situation?
Yet back in that moment…
You did your best,
You looked for the positives,
You tried your hardest not to be one of those ‘bad eggs’ that moans all day at work,
You told yourself, 'better the devil you know!'
It’s very easy to get stuck climbing the proverbial hill, locked into 'sunk-cost fallacy mode', waiting for something good to eventually happen, some final payoff!
Of course, without the bitter, the sweet just ain't as sweet… and had you not left, you’d be none the wiser.
So, remind yourself of that next time someone approaches you with a new opportunity.
Maybe you'll be looking back from your next role with relief too!
My clients and I are working together to fill some ‘life-upgrading’ job opportunities right now.
