As usual, their motivations probably aren’t related to your initial reaction, as Bill Taylor explains in this post at Harvard Business Review.
Quitting is never a word leadership wants to hear in relation their company, Taylor admits. But in this instance, it’s actually not so bad. Work is intensely personal, even if you’re not a CEO.
