This narrative analysis examines the exit process from totalistic organizations, defined as organizations with a far greater reach into a member's life than traditional employment or volunteer memberships. Findings suggest a nuanced view of exit that challenges both Jablin's (2001) phasic model of exit and Kramer's (2011) observations of a fluid and indefinite volunteer exit. Where previous research has privileged pay as the defining feature of organizational membership and exit, this study suggests that organizational form and organizational processes such as exit may be tied more to the reach of organizational values into the member's life than previous research has indicated.
