HR Alert

Your best people aren't leaving for salary.
They're leaving because of slide decks.

The resignation letters you'll never see coming. The exit interviews that never mention the real reason.

What They're Really Saying
Senior Project Manager • Fortune 500 • 4 years
Left Company
★★☆☆☆

"Great pay, but I was a slide monkey"

Pros

Good salary, nice people, interesting projects (in theory)

Cons

I spent 40% of my time on status presentations. Not managing projects. Not solving problems. Making slides. Every. Single. Week. I have an MBA for this?

Program Director • Tech Company • 6 years

★★★☆☆

"Burnout factory disguised as PM work"

Pros

Good learning opportunities in the first year

Cons

Leadership doesn't understand that every 30-minute meeting requires 4+ hours of prep. The Thursday night panic before Friday status is destroying people. Nobody talks about it.
