It's much more amazing to realize that you are happier Not Working for a company than Working for it.
Some people (17 or 7 or 4 year veterans) are stuck with their life investments. They are terrified to make a move or to have a move made upon them.
It's a huge deal to explore open positions, other companies, or even a new commute. Old habits die hard.
The more you move, the more efficient everyone can be. All the detritus falls away. So much surrounds us everyday that is distracting. Habits, rooms, hallways, desks, coworkers. Everything is there until it isn't.
One bad earnings call, one rough afternoon for your boss, everything at your job can fall away until nothing is left, not even a paycheck. It's a matter of dodging as many bullets as you can, and try not to be shocked when you get hit.
