    You may be willing to make the tradeoff, but you should acknowledge the downsides. The most extreme example is in academia where they get a lot of stability in exchange for an excr…

    For that to explain the gap I think you would have to consider how many of those employees who get written up live with their families vs more detached living arrangements. With th…
