Psychologists have an additional explanation: Quitting is contagious. When one employee leaves, the departure signals to others that it might be time to take stock of their options, what researchers call “turnover contagion.”So quitting begets more quitting, a challenge that employers cannot always solve with raises or perks. In a recent poll of more than 21,000 LinkedIn members, 59% said a colleague’s departure had led them to consider quitting as well. Every other week she got an email from a colleague who was quitting her company, where hours were long and career advancement options seemed limited. The friend who inspired Cruz’s resignation, Cat Del Carmen, 34, agreed that it was important to develop her own quitting strategy.
