This is a completely valid perplexion. It's so bewildering, right?

Something I've learned (and keep learning in other contexts) is that change can be overwhelming for some for many reasons, probably more than I'm aware of.

I've literally gone to a previous coworker and said, "there's a job with your name on it. Your pay will literally double. Your hours will halve. And you won't ever have to fear a C-level throwing a tantrum." They hummed and hawed and explained away why they didn't want to try.

I think some of it is:

- inertia

- anxiety of "what if?"

- known over unknown

- ???
