I may stay at mine till I retire as my manager is awesome and the pay is great

Work/life balance got out of whack for me. Lucky to work until I found something better. Life is good now.

It is absurd to me how much happier I am at this job than the last one.

Employees quit all the time; most get fed up with their bosses

Overused but also accurate in a lot of cases. It was why I left my last job, and I loved that job.

The job was great. Overall I was treated very well and well respected. There's no good way out of that situation though.

My current manager definitely has me thinking of putting more effort of finding a new job. If I end up changing jobs..

People quit jobs for lots of reasons. Bad managers are one among many reasons.
