No statistics or reasons for resignation can be relied on for
absolute validity. The individuals who are leaving frequently fail
to give the true reason and often there are many factors contributing
to the decision to goo In an effort to come as close as possible to
the real reason in each cases the Panel members working cm this report
read tie narratives of the exit interview and attempted to classify
each in the proper category. It mat be remembered,, hcvwevera that
an office sometimes "permitted" the individual to resign, that return-
ing to school or returning home because of the illness of a mother
could mean dissatisfaction with the job, and that "leaving to take
another job" does nct really tell anything about the reason for going,
