What made them leave? It's different if they leave randomly or because a well known set of reasons.

- tl 6y agoFinding a job with higher pay or a better work environment makes the rest of that team (and possibly members of other teams) reconsider staying. Personal anecdata: one person leaving a team of 10-20 caused 3-5 other people to either leave or re-negotiate in private. In extreme cases, this triggers a chain reaction.
- znpy 6y agoThis is also true.
- jgeada 6y agoEverybody lies on exit interviews. You mostly don't want to burn bridges and frequently will need some references. So HR departments have 0 useful information as to why people are leaving and even less about the costs of having developers go.
- zimpenfish 6y ago> Everybody lies on exit interviews. You mostly don't want to burn bridges Hold on - not everyone does (I offer myself as anecdata). And I am more than happy to burn bridges if I'm leaving a toxic workplace because, well, it's toxic.
- znpy 6y agoIt really depends. where the scene is not that big, it does happen to meet again a former coworker (or a former boss) at another company. I've seen that happen.
- znpy 6y agoyou're pretty much right.
- znpy 6y agoa long streak of dumb decisions made by upper management (think C-level execs, not direct managers).
