These reasons are valid even in the tech industry - especially for engineers.
I can see engineers making $400k/yr quitting as if it is nothing. They just can't see themselves being treated like a cog in the wheel, reporting to incompetent management.
From my conversations, these engineers just tired of reporting to managers who are not technically as skilled as them but have large boss egos. They don't want to be treated as subservient slaves with a paycheck. They especially don't want to report to paper pusher managers who only do performance reviews and suck all the visibility onto themselves - when the real output producers are the engineers.
To boot, these engineers have the financial means to just quit their previous bosses. Why spend your one life reporting to an incompetent management?
- surfingdino 5y agoIt is a huge problem in our industry. I have had people quit because of or be fired on a whim of a boneheaded slavedriver who couldn't explain what an API is if their own life depended on it. The banking industry if probably the worst for overblown egos of non-technical managers (who are proud of being non-technical) and their incompetence.
