Flight risk

A corporate euphemism for "employee who wants to quit" that makes poor management sound like a risk assessment, usually used when managers realize they've been treating people terribly.

Examples

Examples: - "Sarah is a flight risk." (Sarah wants to quit because we've been terrible to her) - "We need to address flight risks." (we need to stop being terrible to people) - "Flight risks are increasing." (more people want to quit because we're getting worse)
