- xcambar 4y agoI've heard that as well, but that leaves me uncertain. A good manager can only do so much. When the company despises its workers or is reluctant to expenses or hirings or reorg or... I'd prefer to say "people join companies, they leave because of management", which points fingers a little less to the direct manager and a bit more to the whole org tree. Note: I'm a manager, maybe I'm just protecting myself and my own kind.
- barrysteve 4y agoWell the employee's relationship with the whole org tree is pinned to the manager. That's kind of the point.
- robin_reala 4y agoI think I’ve only left a manager once in my career. For everything else it’s just been moving to better opportunities, less commuting, desire to move country, etc.
