Would this explain why so many users are retiring?
Sounds like a good explanation to me, Alex. Even the most loyal employee
still has a pride in themselves and in their work. In an unhealthy, abusive
work environment it is only a matter of time before they do the healthy
thing and leave. There are, or will be, other places to work that will not
regard them as merely expendable.

Nah standard MMOPRG turnover and people just generally moving on
explains most of the turnover.
