Why can’t people just be honest with themselves?
If a job sucks, leave. If you’re unhappy, leave. Better offer? Leave. Put on your big boy pants and make a grownup decision.

That’s really narrow minded and immature of you to say. Some of us would prefer to leave but we can’t because our visas are tied to our employment or because we need to find a company that is willing to sponsor us and only then we can leave

That’s a bit of an over simplification

Is it though? Or so people not understand how to make a real life decision?

Agree with EY1. There are so many factors that go into the decision. Especially when there is a family involved. Someone not making a decision as simply as you say CAN be putting our big boy pants on

My big boy pants tell me all the time that I have a stable job with good insurance d and a 401k and I have a family with little kids. Not my ideal job, but, kind of stuck now. So here I am 🤷🏼‍♂️

Some of us have our “big boy pants” on and have made a decision. That doesn’t mean we like our decision or that we are never conflicted or wish we didn’t have to make that decision. We have decided the pros outweigh the cons. However, I don’t know why you feel it’s so terrible if we regularly reassess if that decision is still the right decision for us.

I’m curious to know what bothers you so much about it.

Sad OP!

I’ll be more specific, the never ending threads on here where people ask “advice” when it’s clearly obvious, and they just need to make the decision themselves.

I totally understand there will always be situations people can’t control.

If you know what you want to say, put on your big boy pants and say it the first time

You can’t tell me what to do.

She**

Can't believe it bothers you enough to post about it.

Hi everyone! I work at a large manufacturing company and have been here for about a year as a member of their executive training rotational program. I’ve been a top performer and I really like my job. A (much) smaller company in the same industry has reached out and offered me 135k for a similar role (current base is 121k). My question is, can I leverage this offer to be paid more at my current company even if I have no intention of accepting the other offer?
