Career regret and career sacrifice: the less examined yet ever-present career experiences
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This symposium explores career regret and career sacrifice – phenomena experienced by many individuals throughout the course of their working lives. Career regret is the feeling of wishing to undo a past decision made in one’s career, whereas career sacrifice involves a decision to give something up in one’s career. These related career experiences have both been relatively under-explored in the field of careers and organisational behaviour (Byington, Felps and Baruch, 2019). However, their prevalence and their potential to impact on the careers and well-being of career actors, especially in the current turbulent climate, calls for a better understanding of these phenomena. Scholars in this symposium have been united in their motivation to further understand these phenomena and their individual and organisational consequences The Remains of the Day: Dealing with Regret in Later Career Presenter: John Blenkinsopp; Newcastle Business School, Northumbria U.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
