Unique reasons for quitting jobs!!!

Why do employees quit jobs???


Here are some of the responses:

-- "An employee left because he didn't like the smell of the office."

-- "One guy said he was making too much money and didn't feel like he was worth it."

-- "A worker didn't like to use a computer and said the job wasn't as glamorous as she thought."

-- "A person left because she didn't like the lighting in our building."

In cases such as those below, parting ways may not be such a bad thing:

-- "The person said he was bored."

-- "One employee quit because he said he was over-employed." -- "We had a guy who said he couldn't get up in the morning."

-- "The employee quit because she didn't want to work so hard."

-- "One worker quit because he thought the location wasn't exciting enough."

While many people enjoy their jobs, work often takes a backseat to other pursuits:

-- "A person wanted to sunbathe on the beach in Europe."

-- "We had someone leave to train for a triathlon."

-- "He quit to go sailing."

-- "An employee said she was going to live on her trust fund."

-- "A worker left to climb Mount Everest."

These next professionals said they needed to get out of town:

-- "An employee moved to Italy because she didn't like the outcome of the election."

-- "We had a woman leave to tend bar in Costa Rica."

-- "One person left because he had to join the Witness Protection Program."

Career changes sparked some people to give notice:

-- "An employee quit to go to Hollywood and become a movie star."

-- "Someone left to join the circus."

-- "A worker left to become a strawberry farmer."

-- "A guy left to become a golf pro."

-- "One staff member left to play the trombone."

-- "A worker joined the clergy."

Then there was the employee who had a silent exit strategy:

-- "He just walked out without a peep. Until this day we have no idea why he left, nor were we able to contact him."
