According to many interviews (and from my perspective on it all), Ronn runs two different stories about his departure. The first is what he announced to public; that he had an epiphany after a car accident with his wife. The second can only be found in one live interview at a fan event, and spills what sounds like more of the truth; that B&B was a toxic workplace for him with horrible management and abusive staff, and that the car accident made his decision clear on what he should do. He also stated in the interview that he had requested not to recast Ridge (to make room for a return), which goes to show that he was correct about the rude staff and that he was not listened to, and that Susan Flannery jumped ship with him for those same reasons, but not as immediately.

I completely understand his reasons for resigning, and while producers could have taken his request to not recast his character a bit more seriously and understood themselves what he implied in means of potentially returning, Ronn should have understood that CBS/Bell-Phillip makes their profits almost entirely from viewers, and that they ultimately should come first. I guess this is similar to how when Rome Flynn left, Pierson Fode "was inspired" by his decision - and, more recently, Ingo Rademacher "coming to an agreeement" with Bradley Bell regarding his employment - probably all the same reasons.
