My team is full of lifers (everyone but me and the friend I got hired have been here >8 years), and only one person of the 12 of us left this year. My fiancee's company is in the process of losing the entire mobile team (Android/iOS, ~8 team members, lost 5 this year), but it's a dumpster fire with low wages, so them going down in flames isn't necessarily related to a broader movement.

- incongruity 5y agoI feel like you sorta added evidence to the idea that it is a broader movement. It’s not that everyone is just saying “I quit” - but those in bad jobs/bad teams/working for low wages are the ones supposedly making moves and I think your anecdotes align with that. Just say’n is all.
- sdenton4 5y agoI think the broad movement is exactly people settling less for dumpster fires with low wages...
- stetrain 5y agoThe trends of remote work and broader competition to find tech workers would make it much easier to get out of such a dumpster fire situation over the last ~18 months. So perhaps the reasons for quitting haven't changed much, but the burden of jumping is lower so it's happening more often.
