67% of workers earning over $100k see themselves quitting in the next 6 months
The last time I made my case for a promotion, the director said "Sorry, no promotions right now, there's nothing I can do."<p>A couple months later, a coworker gets a job offer elsewhere and threatens to leave, and he's immediately promoted. He happens to be the least experienced engineer, and now he's leading the team.<p>This sends everybody scrambling for job offers, since that's what gets rewarded. Half the engineers have left already, and with any luck, I'll be next out the door.
