    I will quit if I don’t feel happy anymore, which most likely because of people. If colleagues I like are all gone, I probably go somewhere else.

    Sometimes it might be the salary which causes people to leave.

      I read about the term “silent quitting”: quitting without any prior warning, just handing in the resignation without a chance to remedy the situation.

      Sometimes it might be the salary which causes people to leave.

      Definitely. Got the highest pay bumps when switching. Was only a reason to switch once for me though. Is salary the most important factor for you?

        remember that “2 weeks notice” is a kindness you’re giving them, it’s not a requirement and companies will never show you that kindness when they fire you

        I am okay with some discount on my salary if I am really happy with my colleagues. We go to work every day, it is important to be happy.

        If most of my friends are gone, and the salary is not satifactory, I will definitely quit for higher pay!

              I’ve… tried? But despite being software developers, our interests often don’t align. I’ve gotten along well with many, but they’ve always stayed aquaintances. Back when I was younger and willing to go out and have a beer after work I did make more friends.

                I do agree, sometimes it is difficult to chat within work hours because everyone is busy. And when you get older, you have commitments in family, and other plans, etc, getting even more difficult to make friends.

                I try to hang out with my colleagues, because i want to make friends and I still have time for that.

                But anyways, I felt that you can be a good friend! Felt bad for your colleagues missing the chance to make a good friend. (Sorry if that sounds odd because of my poor English)
