Staying put is also a decision. It just doesn’t feel like one because nobody throws a party for it.

Doing nothing arrives disguised as neutrality. Nobody makes you justify staying, there is no announcement and no risk of looking foolish, so it feels like the absence of a choice rather than one of the options on the table. It is still a choice, and its consequences accumulate just as surely as the bold version would have.

Treat it as an actual candidate. Write down what staying costs and what it gets you over the next two years, in the same detail you would give the change. If it wins on the merits, stay properly.
