This week I was shocked when we had a few people quit unexpectedly. Turnover is a thing but in January, just after you survived layoffs? I am wondering if they had better opportunities lined up... but in this job market? I wish them the best of luck but it is brutal out there. A few weeks ago I reached out to someone who quit 6mo ago and they wish they hadn't. Grass isn't always greener!

I really hope they had other jobs lined up, because quitting without a plan in this job market feels pretty reckless. I’ve been searching for something new for over six months and have only had two interviews. You’re absolutely right—the grass isn’t always greener.

Hey congrats on getting interviews! I've started applying to jobs in the last 3 months but no interviews so far. Granted, I've only applied to like 5 positions.

Our turnover occurs after bonus in Feb. Very curious to see what happens this year.

Oh interesting. My old company was like that. I saw even more companies like UPS and Amazon are laying off today. Crazy times.

Let's hope they had something better lined up. I agree with you that it's not a job market to take lightly. I keep seeing people who are saying they were laid off and can't find a new job, so the last thing I'd do is walk away from a job without having a new one waiting.

Exactly. Gotta stay prepared

it is if you retired and have the means. So long and thanks for all the fish!
