Nobody quits overnight. They quit 90 days before they tell you.
The best employees don't leave loudly. They leave in stages, and most managers miss every single one.
It starts with conversations going transactional. Then future-tense words disappear.
Curiosity flatlines. They go quiet in meetings. And one day, the feedback stops completely, because they've stopped trying to fix what they're already leaving.
By the time the resignation lands, you're not negotiating. You're processing.
If you're a leader: re-read this list with your top 3 people in mind.
If you're an employee: which one, are you?
