Order of List
I wanted to know the most logical, best-sounding order of these things listed in this sentence. I've narrowed it down to 2 options:
1: "I have a lot of reasons for this: too many employees, too few group outings, too much turnover week to week, less familiarity between coworkers."
Or 2: "I have a lot of reasons for this: too many employees, too much turnover week to week, too few group outings, less familiarity between coworkers."
Thank you.

ForumUser2: "I have a lot of reasons for this: too many employees, too much turnover week to week, too few group outings, less familiarity between coworkers."I am curious about a couple of things regarding the reasons listed in your post. The curiosity is; what is the role or position of the person making this list ? I am asking this question because I can't
