Great article. While I have no debate with "The Great Attraction," I have a much simpler observation that might be useful. We both came up inside big, complex ad agencies during tumultuous times where employee retention was hard work. I remember one savvy HR executive who reduced the challenge of turnover to this: "People join companies and they leave managers." I built a whole hiring and retention strategy around that one insight.

I think this is a brilliant idea, and with proper planning (maybe 12 months ahead of anticipated change in employment status) could benefit both employees and employers (especially large corporations).
