Florence Poirel, 37-year-old senior program manager at Google's Zurich office, resigned from her ₹3.4 crore-per-year job in April 2024, seeking a "life of purpose". Though she described the work and team as pleasant, she felt unfulfilled. She realised the importance of spending time with loved ones, including her partner, a fellow Googler who is 17 years her senior. Both of them quit together.
