dumblittleman.blogspot.com — It's like clockwork. Every year a portion of our top talent decides it's time to move on. Once those bonus or holiday checks are cashed, the flood gates open and the resignation letters start flowing in.

For my first few employee reviews I mentioned to my manager that I wasn't getting enough to really fill my day. This seemed to upset them but it never actually made them give me anything to do. Asking around to see if people needed help on their projects didn't yield any additional work either. Finally I just gave up.

Attrition: A company wants to reduce headcount, so they start making things s**tty for the workers, hoping the low end tards get up and leave. But instead the good workers pack up and leave... because they can.

add me to the circle jerk of agreement. when i left my last company, i just gave BS. you want them to think it was you wanting something that they cant give you. as long as that stands, you can have a good reference. however, if i told them the truth, i'd say:-- i was in the top 5 employees of a 200 person company, and my pay verified this. the first 3 were the pres, the VP, and my manager. i don't know whether i was 4 or 5, but i was probably 5.-- most of the 40 person office staff were absolutely retarded, and i dont want to babysit middle aged people-- the president micromanaged every single person on the office staff. every single one. i rarely reported to my manager. in fact, 3 accountants stole 6 figures of money on multiple instances, and the consultants said that if the accountants had properly reported to the head of accounting, the number "errors" would have been immediately obvious, but the president demanded to see everything instead.-- pay is obviously a factor. if i do the work of 5 people and don't see another dime, i'm leaving.the bottom line is that the top guys leave because of bad management, but these are the assh**es who i need as a reference.

There are dozens of reasons why I'm leaving my current job, but the reason I gave in my resignation letter was that I wanted to pursue a career that better matched my skills and training, which was accurate, though only a tiny part of the story. If I had told them all my top reasons, I'd have probably pissed them off and would have to scrub them from my resume.One more week and I'm out.

many people leave because they realize that, as disposable commodities (and that's how financial corporations categorize their staff), compensation is less affected by on-the-job perfromance than it is by on-your-knees performance.

How about the "Peter Principle" <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle</a> ? It would suggest that any competent employees will inevitably move on to better and better jobs until they reach a level when they are no longer competent at their job. The implication is that every employee is either short-term or incompetent.
