I was talking to a former co-worker guy who had 25 years in the company today.
He was praying for a "Buy-out" but it was not offered to him. They offered to all who had 30+ in the company.

He has always been outstanding in his job but he had enough of the politics.
He wanted to go south and get out of the city/state. Wife wanted to stay.

He always had a computer/inside/desk type job and was very good at it.
But he loved the outdoors. Great Fisherman. So in his case he had a HE vs SHE to deal with too.

Except when he was on his fishing boat I do not think he was ever happy.
Just a job collecting money each day. "paycheck...zero passion" for him too.

Unfortunately not everyone has a lot of options during work or after walking away from the job.

So I agree, much more than just what jobs you had and were you happy.
