Employee retention has been a huge part of my job for over a decade. In the professional world, employees rarely leave over money.

It's generally about opportunities to do new things/grow in their career (which is distinctly different from compensation), a culture problem (which compensation will not fix), or an engagement problem (poor leadership)

And has someone who quit over poor compensation, those are exactly the bullshit reasons I told HR on my way out, as to not burn bridges.

When I was younger, at least. Old me doesn't give a shit anymore.

I'm sure your anecdotal experience clearly changes how the science of studying human behavior works.

That's why COVID boosters were so pointless - your cousins brother's friend got sick from the booster so obviously they're full of metals that solidify in your circulatory system.

I refuse your anecdotal argument after giving my purely anecdotal argument, and then somehow link that to a completely unrelated topic

Are you upvoting yourself with bots or what's going on here? You seem to be making very sure to drive the point that it definitely ISN'T money lol.

They sound like someone who's completely disconnected from the financial realities of 95% of workers lmao

The only way I can see what he mean making sense is that he's talking about the people making more than low 6 figures. I can totally see someone making 300k a year not leaving because of money but because they wanna do something new.

It's almost never about money, once you hit salary-exempt professionals.

I've heard that people leaving Amazon do so because of the environment/culture there, even though Amazon pays very well.
