James was working at a job where his new boss was really grating on his nerves. He wasn't making that much more money at this new job, he had offers to go elsewhere, and he did not have any particular reason to stay at the job. Nevertheless, he continued

You sound so unhappy there that I'm not sure I understand why you haven't left yet."
