Workers More Likely to Regret Staying in Bad Jobs, Research Shows
A recent study indicated that workers were more likely to regret staying in a bad job than quitting it, according to research from Resume Now. The study found that nearly 60% of people cited staying in a bad job too long as their biggest career regret. This finding contrasted with the 38% who regretted quitting a job.
The research highlighted that workers regretted remaining in unfavorable job situations more than other career-related actions, such as not speaking up in meetings, not asking for a promotion, or not obtaining a college degree. Despite this, "job hugging," or remaining in an undesirable position, was reportedly becoming increasingly common, with workers planning to stay put until at least 2027, according to Fortune.
