[Newsletter] What Makes People Quit?

Hi there,

The article about John Morgan sharing how several of his employees quit after he imposed video surveillance on them, and the interesting (and revealing) thread of people sincerely answering what they would do after tech—in case of burnout, retirement, or something else—made me dedicate this edition to the reasons people quit.

Alongside those two, enjoy an interesting perspective on building who you are around what you do, as well as the idea that retention doesn't necessarily mean success.
