However, in this book Freada Kapor Klein shows how even well-intentioned people can harbor unconscious biases that perpetuate stereotypes. Each year more than two million professionals and managers leave their jobs, pushed out from the pressure of small comments, whispered jokes, and not-so-funny emails. Voluntary employee turnover due solely to unfair treatment costs U.S. businesses an estimated sixty-four billion dollars a year.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGiving Notice reveals the real reasons that this diverse pool of talented managers and professionals leaves their employers—not the safe, half-truths reported during exit interviews.
