Who's more likely to quit their jobs: people who dwell on the past, live in the present, or think about the future? New research has an answer, and rdouglasfields1 explains.
People who live in the moment tend to be more impulsive and are greater risk-takers.
It may be that people who ruminate about the past will constantly dredge up past injustices, hold grudges longer, thumb their nose, and waltz off the job thinking , “You can take this job and shove it!” And then there are the planners; the folks who are always looking ahead, angling, scheming, striving for better: “Gotta go. My future calls!”
Six months later, they surveyed the same group of people again and asked if they were contemplating quitting their jobs within the year. Finally, they came back to the group six months later to find out how many had actually quit their jobs.
