Enjoyed your opinions, and I’m a little late for a response…..but my thoughts are this….the number one reason people change jobs is because of “conflicts with other people–period”….it can be categorized and disguised in many different ways, but the end result is the same, no matter what you call it. Employers wouldn’t offer a job if they didn’t think the “new” person could handle it; likewise most people wouldn’t accept a job if they didn’t think they could “excell”, thereby receiving job satisfaction, and a potential of lateral or vertical movement, and even more enrichment and monetary reward.
Thx for allowing comments. Mike

Having been in the recruiting industry for a number of years, I’ve found another common reason that candidates leave jobs is because they are underutilized and/or just not challenged enough. As more and more workers are taking their career development into their own hands, the ability to continually build their skills and knowledge is increasingly important. If a job isn’t providing that opportunity, they will move on to one that does.

I think your number two is THE most given reason. And, it is not only that they don’t ‘get along’ with their boss but that their boss doesn’t apparently like them.
great work on your blog!
