"Because so"

Question

Hi, I want to know if I'm using the phrase "because so" correctly in this sentence:

"I am leaning against this for the following reasons: too many employees and too much turnover and, because so, less familiarity between the staff."

My concern is this: Can I use "because so" if there are two reasons preceding it? The two being (1) "too many employees" and (2) "too much turnover." I'm not sure. I feel like ""I am leaning against this for the following reasons: too many employees and, because so, less familiarity between the staff" sounds more natural, the reason possibly being that the original is grammatically incorrect. Is it?

Thanks,

Samir

I wasn't aware that English even had the phrase "because so".

Samir1... too many employees and too much turnover and, because so, less familiarity between the staff.

Instead of "because so" you need "therefore".

Thank you. But either way, my original question remains the same <img class='emoticon' style='Width:19px;Height:19px;' data-delaysrc='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' src='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' alt='Emotion: smile'/>

There are only two things wrong with the original sentence. Both of them are usage errors.

"because so" has to be rephrased. "between" should be "among".

I'm leaning against it for the following reasons: too many employees and too much turnover; therefore, there is less familiarity among the staff.
