change can be a very frightening thing for some people and fear can get you to accept a lot of things that you wouldn’t normally. stability is also a significant factor, the whole “bird in the hand” thing. and let’s not forget, sometimes “better the devil you know”, we always like to think if A sucks do B but B can and sometimes is dramatically worse. are they good enough reasons, not for me, I can’t blame someone if they work a crap job because they don’t want to lose their house – but eventually something’s got to give.
