Is the attrition rate getting higher?

It feels like every week I log onto Slack and see another 'moving on to new opportunities' post from someone who has been here for years. It’s not just the junior devs either; I’ve seen three senior ICs leave in the last month alone with very little fanfare. When I ask around, the answer is always the same 'personal reasons' fluff. Is anyone else noticing this exodus? I’m starting to wonder if the leadership knows something about our Q3/Q4 outlook that they aren't sharing with the rest of us. The lack of transparency regarding the long-term roadmap is really starting to get to me. Just trying to figure out if I should stay put and ride it out or if I should jump ship before the culture shift gets even worse.

It is definitely noticeable. I have been tracking the departures in our department, and the churn among tenured staff has hit an all-time high this quarter. When key people leave without a clear explanation, it creates a massive vacuum of institutional knowledge. Management is pushing hard on efficiency metrics, but they aren't addressing the burnout or the lack of growth opportunities. Most of us are just keeping our heads down, but the silence from leadership regarding these exits is starting to feel incredibly suspicious.

Honestly, people are just tired of the culture here. When you see senior talent walking away, it’s usually because the management style or the compensation model isn't keeping pace with the market anymore. I don't think it's some grand conspiracy about Q3 performance; it’s likely just a fundamental misalignment between employee expectations and how the company is being steered right now. Expect more exits until they actually listen to the feedback instead of just ignoring the mass departures happening in every single department.
