Manager wants to know who’s thinking of quitting?












1















As title says. Our manager took my team aside, says she knows things are incredibly stressful and could we please let her know if anyone is thinking of quitting their job.



Surely this would only be disadvantageous to the person admitting this? Especially if they aren’t actively interviewing or applying yet.



We’ve now been asked for a second time. I am thinking of quitting and I have told two trusted colleagues as much privately. I may be paranoid but I’m wondering if one has told her or accidentally hinted at it and that’s why she keeps asking? How should I handle this request?
