Bored People Quit

Chapter Chapter 28 in Managing Humans, 2012, pp 173-177 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Much has been written about employee motivation and retention. It’s written by folks who actively use words like motivation and retention and generally don’t have a clue about the daily necessity of keeping your team professionally content, because they’ve either never done the work or have forgotten how it’s done. These are the people who show up when your single best engineer casually and unexpectedly announces, “I’m quitting. I’m joining my good friend to found a startup. This is my two-weeks’ notice.”
