    I agree in general with the results of the survey, it makes sense. I think the more interesting question to ask is why do people leave the job they are in? I am in a company right now where a lot of people are leaving. Why? One of the reasons is that as people leave they are not replacing them. This means more work gets put on the people who stay, causing them to leave. People also leave when they don’t feel like there is opportunities to advance internally. A lot of time it is necessary to leave a job to get promoted and get a pay raise. We have also gone through a lot of change in our company as our division was recently sold. I think people get scared of big changes and try to find something new. I have seen people leave in the last couple years for all those reasons.
