LYNN HR Consulting

Every manager remembers the employee who resigned and seemingly came out of nowhere. One day they were showing up, doing their work, attending meetings, and hitting deadlines. The next day, they were giving notice. Leadership's reaction is often the same: "I had no idea they were unhappy." But here's the reality: Most employees don't quit suddenly. They leave gradually.

Every workplace has one. You know exactly who we're talking about. They're the employee everyone goes to when they have a question. They're the person who trains new hires without being asked. They remember birthdays, solve problems, calm frustrated coworkers, answer Slack messages at lightning speed, and somehow know where everything is.
