I have several friends that have voluntarily and involuntarily left their jobs. Most of them have the luxury of taking time off, which they are taking advantage of. It is a time for them to travel, reflect and recharge their batteries. So far, I don't know a single person that wants to get back into the workforce, although it would be understandable especially for those that have financial and familial commitments.
I took some time off in between my last job at Live365 and starting at Brightcove, and it was one of the best things I've done. I was able to network, learn about new areas, gain perspective and, most importantly, take some time off. If you are in a similar situation and have the ability to take some time off, I hope you can do so. I don't think you would regret it.
