Good point, I did not realize that page existed. I'll add it to the Transparency Gap page Adam W started. It is curious that there were public reports of the results of the employee survey in 2012 and 2013, but not since.
Two other web pages relating to this come to mind: (1) Wikipedian and fellow consultant William Beutler referred to high WMF staff turnover as the #9 biggest story about Wikipedia in 2015, saying "The only reason this exodus of talent isn’t higher on this list is because it’s one of 2015’s least-reported stories": http://thewikipedian.net/2015/12/22/the-top-10-wikipedia-stories-of-2015/ (2) Former WMF Director of Features Engineering Terry Chay commented in detail on this, comparing it to other companies, in September 2015: https://www.quora.com/What-has-caused-so-many-people-to-leave-jobs-at-the-Wikimedia-Foundation-WMF-in-2015 -Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] On Sun, Jan 3, 2016 at 5:53 PM, Greg Grossmeier <g...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > <quote name="geni" date="2016-01-02" time="16:18:42 +0000"> > > Eh I'd argue at this point we have a fairly good idea of what went on. > > > > We know from the high employee turnover in some areas and the odd slip > > (well that and pretty direct complaints > > > https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=WMF_Transparency_Gap&diff=15199687&oldid=15199605 > > ) that, oh lets call it moral, isn't exactly rock solid at the WMF.
