Why your employer might love for you to quit

Most employers know their organizations can’t succeed unless they can attract and retain good people.
Most employers know their organizations can’t succeed unless they can attract and retain good people. It’s also true, however, that sometimes they would like at least some employees to quit, and not just the underperformers whom they’d otherwise like to fire. But rather than just wishing and praying that you’ll choose to leave, some employers will create conditions — perfectly legal ones, it turns out — that make you want to leave. There are a myriad reasons why an employer might push people to quit. One may be that the company’s leaders determine that operating expenses are too high from overhiring, said Jesse Meschuk, a human resources consultant and former senior vice president of HR at a Fortune 500 company. Or it could be that a product line is no longer popular and they don’t see an obvious way to redeploy talent. Or that AI is reducing how many employees are needed.
