The first time I left: I "wasn't developing my technical skills fast enough to be a manager." Never mind that the 2 senior managers they hired above me quit and no one wanted to come to my state to help because the drive was too far, that I kept myself and 2 staff busy, edited a technical book for the firm, and was running the SALT practice just fine as a 3rd year senior.

8:30 am tomorrow my current firm is announcing I am a partner. Screw you old firm.
