3 workers share why they quit their jobs and joined the Great Resignation

When Russ Freyman left Google after more than a decade, it wasn’t because he’d felt mistreated, or poorly compensated, or like the benefits package was lacking. He knew he was walking away from one of the most coveted employers, but he was confident in his reason: He’d lost his sense of passion.

“It’s not a secret that Google is a great company,” says Freyman, who most recently worked at the tech giant as a sales lead, managing a team of eight. “But things change over a decade at any organization, and I just started to feel less passionate about Google’s mission.”
