I'm not sure about this, Where i work we've had about 5 guys leave in the past month, and they left to work elsewhere and not because they were made to leave or left as a group for whatever reason.

I can't really comment for the Software industry as mine is more engineer related, But in the software industry, isn't it common for people to leave when they can upgrade their knowledge?? if folk were to stay on at Vbulletin indefinately then there would be no influx of fresh ideas and knowledge, They would only know what they know and no more??

But if they could better their job prospects by moving on to a different enviroment then surely that would be a good mark on their resume.

I guess that in the software industry, you'll find that people come and go more often than any other industry, I mean how many times have you heard that Joe bloggs has been with XXX.com for 35 years until his retirement??? never i guess.

I found out that people come and go for a variety of reasons and maninly this time of year so they can take their summer holidays before starting their new job.

Thats why i don't see anything strange about 4 guys leaving, Good luck to them they served their time well, now lets bring in the fresh ideas and look forward to what will happen in the next year or two
