The context of the following conversation is Skylar was not willing to get a new job, so Austin helped Skylar change their ways.:
Austin says I finally talked Skylar into getting a new job..
The friend responds Oh good on you! How did you mange that?.
Austin responds I explained she could be earning more at other places that would be giving her nearly as much stress as her old job was.
The friend responds Oh she really wasn't happy at her old job was she. Why was she so reluctant to leave?.
Austin responds I think it was just the fear of starting over at a new place..
The friend responds I understand that, but I'm glad you talked her into it, she'll be a lot happier at the new job now I reckon..
