The cost to replace a good employee is shockingly high. Organizations that don't fight to keep their good people are chasing short term gains at the expense of their medium and long term. It is why many businesses can't figure out why they can't grow and think they are a great place to work because they offer bottom of their industry pay (which can be enticing for folks looking to break in, get experience, etc.)
- infinite8s 9y agoFor a lone manager, chasing short term gains at the expense of longer term might be the most rational strategy for their own careers.

It is almost always some sort of organizational defect or lack of managerial skill that causes an employee to "save up" all their grievances to the point where they feel the only way to get what they want is through essentially dropping a bomb on their manager.
