Neither of the women in question seemed dissatisfied until they fell in love. They were both model employees. Everything changed when they got a man.
I think the parallels are interesting. The women were valued, treated well, well paid, and well liked, but when their love lives took flight we were suddenly not good enough.
The woman who just left forgot to "unfriend" the COO here on Facebook, so we were privy to her Facebook posts. Eighteen months ago she was gushing about how great her job was and how nice the people here are. Enter Tyrion, and all of the sudden we work her too hard, don't appreciate her, and don't pay enough.
Ironically, both women fell for men who had much, much lower career expectations for themselves and the women took jobs with much lower pay when they left here.
Yes, I've said mean things about her since she left. I'm pissed at her. We gave her extra sick leave last fall, extra snow days off because she can't drive worth a crap, bent over backwards to help her get back on track after she fell off the rails last fall. She lied to us, stole company property, and we found out from the IMs on her phone that when she was "sick" in November (and we were paying her) she was actually out of town with her boyfriend. I have no reason to respect her anymore.
