You’d probably justify the decision by telling yourself that companies don’t give two weeks’ notice before they fire or furlough an employee. It may not be right to walk out without telling anyone, but it's kind of understandable that a person would rather leave than endure a confrontational situation. They may have heard horror stories of colleagues who were subjected to this painful experience. With all of this in mind, it could be that the people in the survey didn’t want to endure a stressful situation. Before long, you can’t take the dirty looks, snide comments and distrust and you just quit. When you log online late, don’t respond quickly to a slack message or fail to return an email in the late afternoon, it will be presumed that you’re interviewing. The boss’ recollection of events will be that you “coerced us into paying you more money to stay” and they believe you're a flight risk. Now that you’re staying, the company doesn’t have to retain a recruiter and go through the entire interview process that could have lasted three or more months.Īs time goes by, you’re now seen as a traitor and mercenary. They soon realize it was a ploy to keep them, not necessarily because they love the person, but it was expedient. Those who acquiesce end up regretting the decision. The company executives exert pressure, cajole, flatter and bully the person to stay. So, you end up saying that everything was great and you just wanted a change of pace. Even though you weren’t fond of the person, you’d feel guilty getting them into trouble. Despite the grilling, you don’t want to throw your supervisor under the bus. Human resources calls you into an “exit interview.” They act sympathetic and understanding, while trying to dig dirt on what was going on in the department that made you want to leave.
