There are many factors that can motivate a person to quit, but having a bad manager is the main one.
Another big reason is the pay. It can be worse to work for a place that gives you a teeny tiny raise, rather than a place that just doesn’t give you a raise at all. It can feel like a punchline, rather than an improvement on ones’ quality of life.
Like that person who was offered a 12 cent raise: they were obviously right to quit, correct? If your company thinks your contributions are worth an extra $4.80 per week, which can’t even buy you a coffee these days, they’re out of their minds.
Other people had worse realizations: one person was told they were getting more responsibilities, with zero raise in sight. With a mandate like that, it’s time to peace out and find your next (and better) job.
