Those little things

It’s the little things that add up over time that ends in someone moving on.

The layoffs that didn’t make sense
The flexibility being taken away randomly
The sudden email announcement pulling back all office paid cab drop and pickup
The mailer stating variable pay will only be paid when you meet 100% of quota
The constantly increasing office work hours and work load
The unaddressed toxic behavior of certain individuals
The denied leave requests during emergencies
The micromanagement
The steady retraction of autonomy
The gradual dilution of expertise
The dying culture
The lack of empathy during personal crises
The favouritism / The promotion of some folks that didn’t add up
The unrealistic expectations without support
The disconnect between leadership and the ground team

It could be anything, and all of the above or anything..
but it’s the little things that matter.
The little things that you ignored, you didn’t question, you didn’t bother answering, you didn’t call out that it bothered you, you didn’t listen, you didn’t reciprocate, you didn’t respond to, you didn’t share…

It could be nothing to you, something for others, and everything for someone.. but it’s still the little things that matter.
