The "problem" is no problem at all: most management doesn't care whether or not an employee quits, nor even whether or not multiple employees quit. The "bottom line" isn't even about economics: an organization will many times be willing to go down in flames defending its own hubristic policies. Ego, folks, EGO. Most organizations will walk through the current flames and come out the other side, minus old employees and in with new ones at significantly lower wages. The pandemic is merely a blip on the actual dysfunctional and disempowering world of work in the United States.
Being hired to do one job, then being expected to do more than one job and only getting paid for the job they hired you to do and not the additional job. This happens a lot in hospitality. E.g. Hired as Kitchen Porter but also expected to do work as a server and to work on the bar in a restaurant, whilst only getting paid for the job as a Kitchen Porter.
Absolutely! Everyone should be getting paid for what they're contributing, and if they aren't being compensated appropriately, they will leave. Great point, Samantha!
That's exactly what my company did. Hired me for my technical expertise, a year later, they restructure the team and now I'm doing more managerial crap on top of my existing job. They basically hired me for my technical skills and now have somebody helping out with managerial duties for free... Very irritating, currently interviewing for other jobs.
@@addanametocontinue Use the situation to your advantage to gain the managerial experience.
This, this, this
"Being hired to do one job, then being expected to do more than one job and only getting paid for the job they hired you to do and not the additional job.' --- While other people do nothing at all, for the same ( or more) pay.
With watching 1. Poor management 2. Micromanagement 3. Inflation and poor pay 4. Burnout 5. New more challenging role
Harassment, bullying, and slanderous rumors about other coworkers is another one! I've seen people leave because of this one!!!
Remember if there is a problem it is coz something is bad with uppermanagment the shit travels upvards in this ofasion. For example i am in sales and i am manager of one unit. The employees say they have low pay, BUT the best sales guys with i still help and do about 20% of sales with get better pay then me... so yeah there is a problem.😂
1. LOW PAY 2. OVER WORKED 3. NO ADVANCEMENT
3. Is the nail in the coffin!
These 3 are more accurate
@@TheBishop12 I'll be leaving my job this year due to basically 3. There is advancement, but it's so dysfunctional that even though they keep offering to advance me, nobody in their right mind would accept any of the promotions.
Succinct but pretty bang on👍
Good employees quit because there are too many people who are narcissistic, bad attitudes or bosses with biased views or who use favoritism! This is the condents version.
Worked at FedEx for 8 months overtime, promised to be moved to management but got bullied so bad I quit
FedEx is a toxic Jr.High School.
These are really good points why people are quitting
Thanks, Ali!
On point!
Thanks, Erica!
i was burnout and 25 yrs of retail just sucked so i lost intrest in it looking to do something better then retail...
There's a reason why the pension at the retailer I work for is vested after only 5 years. Granted, it's not much after only 5 years, but it's something.
this is so accurate xD at my other job which is a different warehouse I left because of a toxic work environment, but for my co workers they told me that they hated the upper management so much they would take care of the worker's needs like updating the equipment, cleaning up the warehouse more often etc more pay too, our pay rate was a bit low but for me idc about that tbh as long as I'm gaining new experiences each day and getting paid it doesnt matter how much im earning as long as it's at least minimum wage or higher it should be fine
they wouldn't take care*
If you are surprised at top performers suddenly quitting, you are not doing your job as a manager. It's usually too late to fix the problem.
Insightful video!:-)
Thank you!!
When you say "lack of trust in management" what that really sounds like is a catch all which likely includes the biggest complaint I have ever heard anywhere: promotions are biased and favorites get a career path while everyone else is told to "keep trying" and "work harder". That survey question is generic, and probably captured the complaint I have heard, and just mentioned here, which is why it got high numbers. Most workers don't care about senior leadership. I have worked places for years and never even seen a senior manager, let alone care if they are trustworthy.
As a worker I assume most C-Suite administrators, everywhere, are somewhat crooked, I care if my work will correlate to my career path. I care if I get my pay and benefits, I don't particularly care if the company is run by untrustworthy people so long as I can climb the ladder and my benefits are locked in.
Most workers I know do not give a crap about trustworthy management except when it relates to:
1 Career Path
2 Benefits
3 Scheduling
4 Things related directly to the worker, their career, their benefits.
You just confirmed the research.
Just started a part time job after retirement two years ago. I quit after two year because the head car porter was an ahole and had the tendency of going off on people
💯👏👏..its definitely now all about employees or else bye bye, 👋
Lack of Trust in Leadership: YEP
I'll tell you one thing, After this job i don't wanna hear 💩 about a wage gap
People don't leave companies, they leave their boss.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Because it's not worth working there anymore
due to criminal activities and felonies against them
Forcing employees to participate in experimental medical procedures doesnt help and has caused excess quitting for the past two years.
Isn't that ILLEGAL? Holy shit!
Nobody forced you to get vaccinated. You're just ignorant of the rights of the employer. You think you are the one in charge. Narcissists usually think that. Combine that with low level of medical and scientific knowlege along with belief in conspiracy theories and you get a post like yours.
