"Health reasons" is probably one of the broadest categories of "leaving" reasons you can give, could be almost anything. I myself is leaving the company I worked for a while now because of "health reasons". My coworkers and me are not getting along, so in order to save my personal sanity, I'm leaving. If the culture would be wrong at Intel for Keller, they could also publicly say for health reasons rather than blaming some specific reason and admitting the culture at Intel is bad. Point is, could be anything really.

This! Also health reasons have the advantage that it is seen as somewhat rude to ask for details. The other unspecific reason that is used similarly is "familiy issues" While i can understand why someone would use this "excuse" i see it as a generally bad thing because it fosters that "health" and "familiy" issues are seen as excuses and not always taken seriously. The fact that we are discussing that here kind of proofs this point.

  There are two acceptable reasons that I’ve seen get little inspection: “Family Reasons” And “Shorter commute” (to some other job) The commute one I always thought was funny. It seemed to trigger universal empathy.

  > Also health reasons have the advantage that it is a legal minefield to ask for details. FTFY. 'Health reasons' are a subject that companies typically won't probe into because of existing legislation around Employers knowing employee's health information (And/or health discrimination lawsuit exposure). 'Family Issues' OTOH is something that's rude to ask about but far less likely to be problematic to actually go into. Also something that I probably -would- ask about in an interview because I'd like to know whether they could come up again.

Did they change the article or did neither of you read it? It says “personal reasons.”

  The article must have changed. I'm 90% certain it said because of health reasons. You'll see other comments for the submission mentioning health as well.

    It never said health, the comments are just supposition.
