In most cases, a job that carries prestige also tends to be laden with many external motivators. These include high pay, a reputable company name, and a socially prestigious position within an organization. Looking at things from the outside, it becomes clear that this kind of career can be very hard to leave. For that reason, it also explains why so many people tend to stay longer in such jobs compared to other careers. Yet, according to Gallup, sustained employee engagement cannot simply depend on status or monetary reward.
For some employees, there will not be a dramatic moment but instead a quieter one where this realization occurs. In this case, there won’t be an argument or burnout experience. On the contrary, the employee starts understanding that this job doesn’t match what he or she would like to keep developing in terms of lifestyle or work routine.
