Yet another high-performing colleague has announced (in private) that he is leaving our company. No matter how many times I get informed of a colleague's impending departure, I am saddened and upset. Saddened that a trusted colleague is leaving and upset that the company chooses not to do more to keep him around.
In this day and age, high-tech growth companies must do whatever is in their powers to retain employees. Each year in the high-tech world is equivalent to seven years of learning. So, after 2.5 years with our company, another one is leaving with more than 14+years of earned knowledge. Sad. If high-tech companies continue to let employees leave without even putting up a fight, they will find out the hard way that 'creative destruction' works fast and furious.
