According to the study, in the past six months of all the people that are quitting 46 percent hold positions as managers or directors. This is the highest amongst all entry (22 percent), mid-level (38 percent), executive (26 percent), and C-Suite (10 percent) positions.

The study also found which age groups make up the resignations, finding employees 36-45 were most likely to leave followed by 26-35, and 46-55.
