QUOTES BY DR. BRAY "People rarely leave for just money. They leave when their work stops feeling rewarding, when progress feels impossible, or when every day becomes an energy drain."
"The real question is: how do I make staying feel like progress and not stagnation?"
"People don’t quit companies — they quit environments where their brain feels stressed, stuck, and underutilized."
