A problem we investigate
People do not write the truth on the way out. The pattern is in who leaves and when, not in what they said.
One week. One problem. One confirmed figure.
The exit interview is a form filled in by someone who has already decided to leave, and it is almost always polite. The real pattern is in the record around the departure: who left, after how long, from which team, and what changed in the months before they went.
Attrition figures tell you the rate. They do not tell you the mechanism. The same role, refilled every eighteen months, is a pattern, not bad luck.
We read the exits as a set rather than as individual stories, and find the one thing that repeats.
The same seat, the same month, the same reason, and it is never named.
People do not burn bridges, so the form explains nothing.
One person held the process, and it went when they did.
The reason was set months before the resignation, at a review.
Exit Intelligence and the key-person work are investigated in the Investigations lane.
