It’s not valuable information in that there’s no much a company can effectively do to change anything. From a security and operational risk perspective it should be covered under existing policies and everything else is fine to be reactive.

The false positive risk is more harmful than any benefit gained.

The odds of “I read your email and saw you’re thinking of leaving so here’s a raise” working are negligible.

This seems like a way for someone to waste time on thinking they know something useful.

I’d love to see how frequently people talk about this and leave. I expect there’s dozens or hundreds of instance of people who apply for a job or network looking for jobs vs people who leave. There’s no published data on identified leavers who leave so that’s where my assumption that this is garbage data.
