I guess it should have option "Never Left", I am still continuing my first job 
Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Never left my job too (since 1995).
I changed the position during the same firm, because i was tired doing the same again and again

The longest I've stayed at a company was 5.5 years. I've been working for a contractor for the last 3 years or so though and think I'll stick with this one for a while. I like having a varied environment to keep me from getting bored.

Lost my job due to company restructuring, but not "fired" ... the term is "the post was made redundant" - much better for the ego (and the subsequent job applications!)

or "laid off"

The last time I left a job was the end of the summer and it was to return to university!
That was almost 37 years ago.
A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

|
|
So, I had to move on!
(OK, not really...)

I find it interesting that poor management is the highest rated single reason that people give for leaving their last job. Since most people probably don't leave for one reason alone, poor management being the highest rated reason means that it alone, is probably the single biggest factor in whether team members stick around or not.
I'm surprised that companies haven't realized that their own managers are the single biggest factor in causing employees to leave.

Maybe... but there is 2 aspects to the management issue. The manager could be the cause of the problem as you suggested, or... the developer has problem with authority/direction.

In Mar 2007, Harvard Business Review published a study about how to manage people who don't want to be managed. It gives some good insights into the mindset of really-smart people and how a manager can his/her style in a manner that is more compatible. Here is a brief synopsis[^]

Poor management of technical people is inconsequential as long as they are viewed as an easily replaced commodity.

it is very obvious that the managment is to blame. On every option they could tweak somehow.
Need a raise => ask the manager
need a glorious project => ask the manager
...
got fired? Who is to blame

It is because people rarely get managerial jobs because they have good managerial skills.
They either get the job by default for being there so long or get promoted out of the way because they are a danger when doing actual work.
Good managers move jobs, bad managers stay for ever whilst their staff leave, are replaced, leave and so on.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

This is true, but they can be trained to be decent at it. Surely companies see the link between poor management and employee defection, and understand how much it costs to replace an employee, yet don't try to do anything about it.
I was about to say I found that surprising until I realized there's a really simple explanation.. corporations are just ape society -- you don't help your inferiors become better because they might usurp you.

Yep. A previous place I worked they actually provided a year long management training course for a selected number of employees each year. Unfortunately once completed nothing much changed unless the manager in question took note and changed what they did, if they didn't then they were allowed to carry on as before. It was going on the course that made me acutely aware of how poor those above me were and resolved me to want to leave.
In another job I had a very strong manager, he left frustrated by the inaction of those above him. They replaced him with the two longest serving developers, neither of whom were managers although one I think could be given the right support. I firmly believe this decision was taken because those making the decision were worried about the prospect of another strong person coming in and applying more pressure on them.

I voted for money, but the root cause was ultimately management.  In the private sector, salaries are a very sensitive issue. Many companies, including the one I left had a (draconian) policy which strictly forbid sharing your salary with penalty of death termination.
Companies like this typically have a salary range which is also kept secret for a particular position, so it is difficult to tell how your pay relates to your peers.
In these companies, they also don't promote and/or give salary increases automatically. The management claims this is based on merit, but more often it is based on some kind of whimsical decision such as how much they like you instead of evaluating the kind of work you produce.
I myself, was in a bad situation where my peers were getting promoted over me (even though I have been there longer) and given bigger raises because of a perceived notion that they were somehow better programmers (which they weren't). It soon became clear that the situation would not improve, so I found another position which pays more than any of them.
