同事接連離職，你也該辭職嗎？
People leave jobs all the time. It's when a trickle turns into a flow that people tend to get concerned and wonder, “Why am I still here?”
人們都要經歷離職。當走的人越來越多，人們往往就會擔心並考慮，“爲什麼我還在這裏？”
If the seats around you are emptying at a rapid rate—and not because of a recent layoff or merger—it's essential to take some time to evaluate your situation and make an important decision: Should you leave if everyone else is?
如果你周圍的位子空的很快，而且不是因爲最近裁員或合併，那就有必要花些時間評估下你的情況，並作出重要決定：如果其他人都離開了，你應該走嗎？
Whether you should be looking for a new job or staying put based on high employee turnover depends on a host of factors. It's tough to lose colleagues you respect and enjoy working with, but their departure isn't necessarily a red flag. However, it's worth asking yourself a few questions when it happens.
你是應該找新工作呢，還是考慮到高員工離職率決定繼續待下去呢，這取決於許多因素。你尊重同事，而且彼此合作愉快，他們離開了，這是有點讓人難過。但他們的離開並不一定是一個警告。但是，當這件事發生時，你有必要問自己一些問題。
Here's a handy guide to deciding whether or not you should consider jumping ship.
這是一個便捷指南，可以幫你決定是否應該考慮跳槽。
Yes if: Most of the People Who've Left Are in Your Department or at Your Level
如果大部分離開的人都在你的部門或和你級別相同，那就應該。
Look around—is there a trend of people like you departing? If so, pay close attention. There could be a deal breaker that just hasn’t gotten to you yet. For example, the company has decided that project managers are going to absorb the duties of administrative assistants, and the first handful of project managers who tested out the new system decided to leave. This could be a huge negative change to your workload and responsibilities.
環顧四周，有沒有一批像你這樣的人離開了？如果是的，那請多注意。可能有件事情通融不了，只是還沒輪到你頭上。比如，該公司已決定把行政助理的工作內容合併給項目經理， 第一批體驗過這個新體系的項目經理們已經決定離職了。這可能給你的工作量和職責帶來巨大的負面改變。
No if: A Number of Colleagues Have Left But They Work on Different Teams
如果許多同事離開了，但他們在不同的團隊工作，那就不應該。
No need to worry just yet if people are leaving elsewhere in the organization. Most likely this is due to people's tenure or team shifts unrelated to your own department. Try to evaluate the reasons for their departures and see if it's something that will actually affect you personally. If you can see an obvious reason for their departures (say, the sales and marketing departments are being combined) but it doesn’t apply to you, then stay put.
如果人們去了公司的其他部門，那暫時不用擔心。這很可能是因爲他們任期已滿或是團隊輪職，這和你自己的部門無關。試着評估他們離開的原因，看看是否真的存在會影響到你個人的因素。如果你能知道他們離職的直接原因（比如，銷售和市場門正在合併），但這並不會影響到你，那麼請呆下去。
Yes if: Communication Has Been Terrible
如果溝通非常糟糕，那就應該。
No one on your level knows anything about why people are leaving, who's taking over, or if there are any company issues—for example, they've lost a major client—and there are mixed messages coming from management. Disorganization and dishonesty often signify bigger problems than just a few people leaving, so take note. If asking questions isn't getting you any answers, that may be a sign.
在你的級別上，沒有人知道大家爲什麼要離開，誰來接管，或者是不是公司有什麼問題。比如，他們丟掉了一個重要客戶——並且管理層意見不統一。組織管理混亂和缺乏忠實度往往預示着更大的問題，不僅僅是造成幾個人的離開，所以請注意。如果你提出問題卻得不到回覆，那可能就是一個徵兆。
No if: There's Been Clear Communication About the Situation (and They've Outlined a Plan)
如果狀況已經溝通明確（而且他們已經列出計劃綱要），那就不應該。
If you feel confident that your manager (or their manager, or someone) is resolving the problems that caused people to leave (they've gotten rid of a terrible boss, for example), you can relax and stick around a while longer—at least until you're sure whether actual change is in the works.
如果你確定你的經理（或他們的經理，或其他人）正在着手解決導致人們離開的問題（比如，他們已經擺脫了令人討厭的上司），那你就可以鬆口氣，再堅持一段時間，至少等到你確定是否發生了實際改變。
Yes if: You Can See the Writing on the Wall
如果你能看到不祥之兆，那就應該。
Sometimes it's just coincidence that a number of people leave at the same time. But other times it's because there's been some kind of big change—to leadership, to company priorities, to the culture—that leaves many unhappy, and the smart people start taking off. If you feel similarly about these shifts and believe that they are no longer in line with your goals or values, it's OK to want to follow suit.[/en
有時候，許多人同時離開只是巧合。但其他時候，這是因爲領導層、公司高層、公司文化方面發生了一些重大改變，讓許多人感到不愉快，所以聰明的人就開始離開了。如果你對這些改變有同樣的感受，並覺得它們不再符合你的目標或價值觀，那麼你想跟着離開也是可以的。
[en]No if: It Really Is Just a Coincidence
如果這真的只是一個巧合，那就不應該。
If one person goes on maternity leave, another got a big pay increase somewhere else, and a third is moving to a new city, those aren't signs that the company is going down the tubes. It's worth staying put if everything else seems like it's business as usual.
如果一個人要去休產假，另一個人在其他地方獲得了大幅加薪，第三個人要搬到一個新城市，這些並不是公司正在走下坡路的跡象。如果其他一切看起來與往常無異，那就值得留下來。
