Why Do Good People Leave? The CEO Has No Clue

Ever switched jobs thinking it would be a step up, only to land in a pit of office politics and silent wars? That was me, moving from a giant tech firm to a promising mid-sized company, hoping for growth and real influence. Instead, I walked into a development team where hazing was a sport and humiliation was the daily special. Mentors sent us on errands just to laugh about it later, and seniors made us stand while they chatted, like some weird office ritual. The worst part? When a few of us became friends, management tried to break us up, spreading lies and calling it a joke when caught. The CEO? He’s in the dark, always asking why people leave, but only hearing what the managers want him to believe. It’s wild—he seems like a good guy, but the truth never reaches him. Positions are still open, and the cycle continues. Would you ever tell the CEO the real reason? 🤔😅 #WorkplaceCulture #OfficePolitics #CareerGrowth #JobCareer
