<code>
1) What are the reasons you are leaving the company?
Choose as many as you like
	Other position
	Opportunity for advancement
	Too demanding or stressful
	Other position
	Opportunity for advancement
	Too demanding or stressful
	Direction of the company
	Dissatisfaction with work
	Working conditions
	Supervision
	Other

2) If you selected "other" above, please specify.
	I was hired to be a Linux Systems Administrator - every time I saw a 
	problem that could be corrected, and requested to correct it, I was 
	responded to with 'That isn't a priority right now.'.  There are so 
	many things that need fixing, it doesn't matter where you start, just 
	start.

3) If you are leaving for a new position, what makes it more attractive than the one you are leaving?
Choose as many as you like
	Opportunities for advancement
	Working conditions
	Location
	Responsibility
	Other

4) If you selected "other" above, please specify.
	Documentation of procedures is one of the most important things for a 
	company to do, second to solid investigation of root cause of issues 
	in the first place.

5) How would you rate the following? (Scale of 1 to 5, Very poor to Very good)
	a.Performance Reviews [3]
	b.Opportunity for advancement [3]
	c.Training received [1]
	d.Company policies and practices [2]
	e.Responsibilities [2]
	f.Hours [5]
	g.Support by management [1]
	h.Work load [2]
	i.Salary [5]
	j.Benefits [4]
	k.Please explain (regarding items a-j)
	  I was in a position that offered very little in the way of advancement, 
	  so that skews that metric. Salary was good, it's why I started there. 
	  Benefits are about the same as anywhere. Responsibility without the 
	  authority to make changes there was bad, and training is a joke. The 
	  attitude of 'This is how we've done things for years, so it must be 
	  best practice.' was pervasive.
	
6) Did your supervisor: (Scale of A, B, C - Yes, Sometimes, No)
	a.Demonstrate fair and equal treatment? [B]
	b.Provide recognition on the job? [B]
	c.Keep employees well informed? [C]
	d.Make themselves available for discussion of any problems or potential problems? [B]
	e.Encourage feedback? [C]
	f.Explain the position and the responsibilities of the job you held? [C]
	g.Please explain (regarding items a-f)
	  I like <my boss>, I think he's brilliant, and he knows where all the problems 
	  are hidden, but he is not good at relating that knowledge and experience 
	  to his subordinates. Every meeting I had with him, I felt like I was 
	  supposed to be asking a labyrinth of questions that if I got wrong, I got 
	  transported back to the beginning of the maze.

7) What is your opinion of the job you had with us?
	Little documentation. 
	Little direction. 
	Much responsibility.
	Little support.
	Little authority.

8) What were some of the frustrations you experienced in the performance and execution of job responsibilities?
	Documentation. Support. Responsibility. Authority.

9) Would you be willing to stay with our company under a more satisfactory arrangement?
	Yes

10) Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
	Yes, one question - why don't you do this questionnaire two month's in instead of at exit?
