People quit their jobs for a variety of reasons: a better opportunity elsewhere, a life change, a move out of state. Among those at high-paying US technology companies, the most common reason is a sense of being unfairly treated, according to a study. 

Although tech jobs tend to offer flexibility, office perks, competitive pay and benefits, workers often said they left their previous job because they experienced unfair treatment. The reasons included being passed over for promotions or dealing with cliques or condescending coworkers, according to the study from the Kapor Center for Social Impact, a group focused on diversity and inclusion in tech.
