I used to work at a place where someone's departure was analyzed and reviewed by management, and if such departure was not for legitimate, uncontrollable life-changing reasons, the management team would consider it a failure of the whole team for not doin…https://t.co/mNAW7hUa7e

It's better to have tried and failed (and learned a lesson) than to never have tried.
