Some of the world’s most powerful women are calling it quits.
Last week, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, also one of Google’s earliest employees, announced she’s leaving the company to “start a new chapter focused on my family, health, and personal projects I’m passionate about,” she wrote in a note to employees.
The announcement came days after Meta confirmed chief business officer Marne Levine is stepping down after 13 years with the company in order to “recharge and prioritize some quality time with family” before beginning her “next professional chapter.” She’s the third female C-suite leader to leave Meta in recent years, following chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg’s exit in 2022 and global ad chief Carolyn Everson’s in 2021.
And in global politics, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon resigned this month after more than eight years in the role, saying no one should stay in a political role for too long, while New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said in January she had “no more in the tank” to lead the country, and that she’d step down and not seek re-election.
These are just a few high-profile examples of a trend that shows women leaders are leaving their organizations at the highest rate ever, widening the quitting gap between women and men in senior roles, according to recent data from LeanIn.org and McKinsey & Company.
To give some context, for every woman stepping into a director-level leadership role, two are choosing to leave, says Alexis Krivkovich, McKinsey senior partner and an author of the joint Lean In and McKinsey “Women in the Workplace” report.
The pattern has the potential to unwind decades of progress toward gender equity and increased female leadership in the workplace, she tells CNBC Make It. “It’s a huge concern and worth focusing on.”

Working mother to four ranging from 7 - 16. I would love to quit and raise my kids and keep house. I’ve reached a top level in my profession. Sadly, we made personal financial decisions and now I’m stuck. Ticked off at husband too that he won’t do more to change our situation. No way out. I will steer my daughters towards a different future. Having options is the ultimate luxury!

What we need is increased female leadership in the home. They have achieved their goal of destroying the family. I hope it’s not too late to put it back together.
No problem just have a few men claim to be women and take their pay cuts. /s
Ooh, screeching harridans are finding out that the femnazis lied to them about life fulfillment? Tough. Hope they die alone and even more bitter.

And no one cares other than social engineers - because no one cared to begin with other than social engineers.
She has an estimated net worth of +$700M. It is not like she needs the money..
At her level, it’s all about status.
So, she needs to decide what she wants more: status in the eyes of strangers, or having a relationship with her kids.
Me, I would have retired long ago on 1% of that, done some traveling.
My job puts me in daily contact with the rich and powerful. The powerful corporate women have divided interests. One third of their attention is on the job. The other two thirds is on their children and grandchildren.
They cannot and do not evade both realities, though they struggle daily to keep them at peace with each other.
I think it represents the corporate officers like CEO, CFO, COO, CTO, etc. Not just CEO.
Very astute observations.
There could be a 3rd issue at hand. It is getting a little hot in the kitchen as far as big tech/gov teaming up for censoring Americans.
Lots of feminists aborted their chances at happiness.
...no walking on eggshells among lunatics,...
Brother, it sounds like you have lived the life, or worse, were also subjected to women supervisors.
I can feel your post.
Yeah — all the folks on the top floor.
“The pattern has the potential to unwind decades of progress toward gender equity...”
What’s the problem? Can’t they just promote one of the cleaning ladies to CEO and bring their equity score back up?
Asking a woman to respect a man is like asking a dog to become a vegetarian.
Natural reaction I suppose to seeing men doing whatever they think will get them the The Promised Land. Hard to respect applicants, supplicants, beggars, or demanders.
For all of the whining about equality, they have held the whip hand on us since time began. And it still wasn’t enough for ‘em.
NEGATORI GHOST RIDER
One of my largest FAILURES in life was letting the ex run the house. HUGE mistake. My ex was a stay at home mom.
1 in 100 women can be effective in business. Women run homes are a disaster and I have a lot of regret over my failure to lead my home.
There is actually a much better name for it!!
I am so very thankful that the days of working 60+ hours per week are over. Yes, my spouse and family suffered, and I am grateful they allowed my indulgence of career, but in the end, not sure the payout was sufficient.
Similarly, following my stint in the military I began my career as women started to enter the workforce in droves. I found it consistently more difficult to navigate through female bosses who often, but not always, were promoted because of their gender. Wow. Male bosses? Never a problem, but most women simply operate on a whole different wavelength. Much, much more prone to misinterpreting the simplest of communication. In those circumstances I quickly learned to speak/collaborate as little as possible and as carefully as possible. Avoidance was usually the best option when possible. It was best when I became the “supreme commander” as those issues then largely resolved itself. Nonetheless, I always tried to treat everyone with care and respect.
Welllllllll.....
Let’s not get HR involved.
