Last week Jake Goldman, founder of 10up, sent out this tweet:
Very high volume of @10up job applicants suggests trends; starting ~2012, it's very uncommon to see job tenures >2 years; most ~1. đ

Basically wondering why 10up's applicants only seem to stay at their previous job for 1 or 2 years. I weighed in on how employees need to feel in control & they need to be committed.
@jakemgold @10up In Originals Grant claims there are four options when you run into resistance: Exit, Voice, Persistence, & Neglect.

Which turned into issues in management which turned into issues in employee expectations. And all of these are valid. They all impact how long someone stays at a job. But as I thought about it some more. I think there's another issue.
