An Exodus

Things have gotten a little crazy.

It’s a four day week. How do four people leave?

After eight years at this agency, one is finally following her passion and leaving to write for some high-fashion website.

Another, whose background is healthcare, is leaving to work inside the premier healthcare foundation in the country.

A third is going home to New York. Boston isn’t so receptive to Yankees fans.

And the last would have been phased out anyways… as she’s in the ever-shrinking consumer practice at our mission-focused firm.


So while it’s all for good and totally unrelated reasons, a loss of 20% of your employee base is enough to scare any business owner — even after the most successful quarter in history. (I like to think this success is in part because of my role on the marketing/new business team that quarter… tee hee!) And I can only imagine what the newbies think…

Abandon ship?
