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.”

THEN it's a lynch mob every single day... no subordinate is going to be spared!!
Perhaps you misunderstand my use of the term “leadership” in this context. I meant that the woman should be the homemaker, which makes her the CEO of all domestic activity.
My husband is in charge, but I run the household.
“Working for a woman is a real nightmare!”
I agree with you, and I’m a woman. I’ve had two excellent women bosses, but most of them made life for everyone a living hell.
Funny that.
By and large I absolutely loved the women who worked for me and was devoted to advancing them as warranted, but I was able to pick my team which consisted of good, level-headed women who typically worked hard. Probably like you, in fact.
My father was his career. He retired at 55. He had plans for a second career but my mom said she had enough running all over the earth with him. I grew to an adult with no real friends since we moved every 2-3 years. I refused to do that. Funny because I have a better relationship with my father than I do with several of my kids. Them the odds.
Women who dislike other women are easier to work for and with. Women who feed off of drama suck to work for or with.
It didn't matter one bit. The women I worked for were absolutely hateful and malicious.
There were trip wires all over the place and the entire staff mimicked the worst behavior of the ‘boss’.
Our office had no males and it was incessant, pointless, wall-to-wall drama!
At one point we had a male in the office and these women treated him SO badly that they drove him out.

I said what I said.
And I understand your reply.
