Why Top Employees Quit
To do this, we reviewed notes from exit interviews, cross referenced annual reviews and ultimately came up with 178 voluntary terminations from people that would have been considered in the top 20%.
To try and keep focused on macro issues, we consolidated the responses and placed them into categories:
- Money
- Unchallenged
- Too Challenged
- Dead Company

It’s really interesting to see “Too Challenged” listed in this group.
Not really, if you keep piling more and more onto the employees who get stuff done, eventually you reach a critical point at which they are not able to perform to thier potential. At that point they may flee.
