Because your employer has a strong culture

Your employer is always touting its strong culture.

They provide free snacks, free lunches, free dinners, free coffee, free beer.

They emphasize personal development and personal relationships at work.

They say they want to be the best employer you’ve ever had.

It took you a few years to realize what your employer’s strong culture means for you.

All that free food and drink is designed to keep you at your desk 16 hours a day.

All that personal development and all those personal relationships at work come at the expense of personal development and personal relationships at home.

All that effort to convince you that they’re the best employer you’ve ever had is designed to keep you from quitting.
