You’re getting downvoted, it seems, but you raise a very real point: you need to have a high turnover, or rough span of control ratios, in order for this to be a common interrupt.
Especially given it’s well known that people don’t leave companies, they leave bad managers… it’s a bit telling.
Anecdotally: I spent 6-7 years managing at various levels (manger/sr mgr/director) before going back to an IC role, and I had a single regrettable attrition (+2 non-regrettable) in that time.

Sometimes you can see the train wreck coming and it’s time to go.
- class3shock 2y agoI would point out that you still left because of a bad manager, just a higher level one.
