If you need a computer program to tell you this employee might quit, you're doing something wrong.
> On the other hand, if you just want a raise, or more challenging work, you might mimic "I am about to quit" signals, hoping to manipulate the system to enhance your situation.
Are you under the impression that's not already a common tactic?
- chris11 17y agoI see your point that this can just be used to be making up for bad management. But this method will get more information than one person normally knows. A boss might not know that the employee has recently requested a transfer that has been denied. Or he might not be aware that the employee has filed several complaints with h.r. Sure there are major privacy implications with what data is being analyzed, but data mining might be more accurate.

- sethg 17y agoIf employee tells boss "I feel my talents are not being used", the boss may have reasons not to pass that news up the chain to HR. Middle managers who are good at playing office politics don't like to reduce their own headcount.
