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.
"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.
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.😂
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.
Good employee here. HVAC tech. I quit because companies inhibit skill growth to keep my wages low. Job hopping is the only way to get a good raise and to learn new skills. Bottom line, people quit because employers put employees last.
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
I will never forget something my successful real estate brother-in-law told me one day….he said that there are only 2 scenarios where working 12 hours or more a day is if you’re making at least $100,000 a year or you’re running your own business. I think it just makes so much sense. If you’re working for a company and you’re working 60+ hours a week and making $80k or less per year then it’s not worth it.
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.
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.
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
I lost one of my hardest workers, and it's all my fauIt. I saw him as my weakest employee. And by that, I mean least competent and intelligent. We catered a hypnotist show, and the hypnotist said he would allow one worker to get onstage. I went, and by the time it was over, a teenage attendee said to me, "Hey, guess what? You're an asshoIe." When I asked what that was all about, my colleague explained to me. The hypnotist asked me to share a complex philosophy I have, and I said that hard work doesn't always lead to success. And I used a certain employee (let's call him Tom) as an example. See, I talked about how he was a slow learner. How he went to a small charter school and not the local public high school. How he graduated at 20, not 18. How he didn't have a driver's license, still lived with his mom at 28, and seemed incompetent to do things by himself at work. Apparently I said Tom's only strengths were his choices--dedication and effort. Said the rest of the crew were much better than him and had more skills and brains. The colleague quoted me: "Tom is practically a Ioser, with only his diligence going for him, no natural skills." Tom quit. It seems he doesn't feel comfortable working for someone who doesn't respect or believe in him. And that's the problem. Honestly, I do think Tom's less/lesser. I do think students/graduates from his old school are inferior to the ones from the bigger school. I do think it's just wrong that Tom still lives with his mom. And I can't simply change the perspective; it's automatically in me, glued inside. It's like when you don't specifically know why you're more attractive to blondes than brunettes, you just are...or why you like one movie series more than another, you just do. That's how it is with my perspective of Tom. While I appreciate him, it turns out, I don't respect him. I'm a real jerk

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!!!

These are really good points why people are quitting
Thanks, Ali!
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.
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.
I recently quit my job of 13 years because of a bad boss and have not regretted it for one second.
Sometimes you just have to walk .
Good video even to this day. Inflation is brutal and as a CMA, a good work life balance can be a hidden gem.
Being micro managed by people who know nothing makes me run for the hills.
That’s the corporate way- if you do good work you work; if you can’t do good work you manage 😂😂😂

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.
People don't leave companies, they leave their boss.

they wouldn't take care*

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.
💯👏👏..its definitely now all about employees or else bye bye, 👋
Insightful video!:-)
Thank you!!
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.
Because it's not worth working there anymore
I quit because of poor management, the last manager is more like prison guard.
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
Lack of Trust in Leadership: YEP
I'll tell you one thing, After this job i don't wanna hear 💩 about a wage gap
due to criminal activities and felonies against them

Maybe they weren’t really a good employee but thought they were
