I'm not sure that's quite fair. When I left my job of 3.5 years I did field a lot of questions about why I was leaving and where I was going, but I wouldn't have described that as people "feel[ing] the most burning question in the universe is why [I] decided to leave". (Also, when I came back two months later I faced a lot of questions as to what the hell happened to bring me back so fast. But that's a different story!)
