Another reason is the top performers work load keeps increasing and they get burned out.
I was a leader in a healthcare agency. I did not care much about the numbers, I took care of my people first, and they took care of my numbers. We had the highest score card in regulation compliance in all 150+ locations. My boss and the organization did not feel we were doing enough and demanded more hours of my time doing tasks. I did not have the time to think anymore, I did not have time to train my people. I was burnt out. I requested two weeks off and my boss declined it, so I gave my two-week notice. After I left, the top performers also left, they fired my boss because they now realized that I was doing most of his job. they hired new staff but couldn’t retain them longer than 3 months. They eventually shut down less than two years after I left.
Sorry to hear this happened to you Rosie. This is a great story and thank you for sharing.
Interesting to see how things change for the negative after you leave the job. Improper treatment but karma finds its way and their ways backfire. Good for you for quitting 😊
I think you failed to realize that your healthcare agency(like most organizations) is not in the business of employing people. That’s not their goal. Their goal is to make money.
@DJ Doesn’t change anything that I wrote.
I'm curious if you there was an opportunity to call that employer back and offered to consult at 5x your former salary when your boss was fired. The company was obviously in a desperate financial position and at risk of shutting down. From their point of view, offering you a consulting fee that was 5x your former rate would have been much less expensive than losing the company. The offer could have been for just a couple hundred hours of consulting work and you would *not* be on site full time as you have your main full time job that you would obviously keep. What are they going to do, fire you and ultimately shut down the company?
The reward for getting your work done is more work. No extra time off or compensation bonus. Just more work. Why work more than what is expected if you will be working late, have no work/life balance and more stress?
If you are done with your task and getting paid, why not give you more work?
My favorite is getting work unrelated to your position. Stuff thats should have a different hire for. I'm a dev why do I need to have hands on work
I only work more if making more money. Flat out. The only time you work for free is if you are self employed and building something that will pay later. But you you aren’t in the S or B quadrant and are simply an E don’t let your employer take advantage of you.
Correct, often times less paid than your deadbeat peers too. When you speak up, you're the problem
more work is fine, but being taken advantage of while others routinely don't hit standards is a morale killer.
People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care!
At my previous employer, I was a top performer in a very high demand, with high education requirements, role every year there. I left just after COVID, but I had been looking for a while. The problem was not my direct manager. The problem, was that the institution did not reward productive employees. The entire purpose of the organization was to extract as much value from us as possible and reward the shareholders. The raises and bonuses I got there for my high performance were insulting.
In my experience working for American public corporations, this is the norm now. Disincentivizing productivity in this way is extremely unwise.
Well said! I just turned in my resignation letter this morning due to poor leadership. Thank you.
Loved this video. I’m the employee in this situation and this really describes me. I’ve been looking to get out and I need to have the self confidence to just do it. I have lot of time with my company and I’ve become complacent. I’ve been researching different careers and hope 2023 is Year I finally am able to make that change.
I hope you get out!
Remember, if the roles were reversed you'd be fired in a moment.
I was working 6 days as a lead server at 21, spent 2 years I'm the position hustling and busting my ass every day, but most importantly I turned the mediocre wait staff into amazing waiters as I had been waiting tables at fine dining establishments for over 7 years.
When my grandma passed away I asked for some time off and my boss was a total ass about it, didn't give a single fuck. I was truly astonished!
I trained their staff for $1 above minimum wage plus tip. I taught all of them basic principles so they can move onto better places, and after I left, they did! Many of them are at much better restaurants and they constantly text me and thank me because they didn't know being a waiter had such an upside!
There's a sucker born every minute.
I actually do not like when my boss asks me personal questions because I know that it's disingenuous and very awkward. I'm forced to lie about my personal circumstances because I don't want to be treated any differently from others. Surface level questions like how's your travel is fine. But nothing deeper than that.
Have you communicated these feelings to your manager?
The ass-kissers get promoted to managerial roles, and a lot of the team members see the lack of skills and know the sole reason for which they got the promotion, which leads to less motivation and production by the top team members.

As a software developer, I've seen the "put a lid on people" effect described here accelerate rapidly over the past 5 years or so... Take people who have a degree of intelligent curiosity about them, introduce a micro-management methodology like Agile, and top performers will run for the door!
Management's "Agile" is not the same as Agile SDLC. The former simply means squeezing more work in tighter deadlines.
Uncle worked in Oil/Gas industry as Engineer. He said there was two tracks to follow at work either the Engineering track or the Management track. Sever times over his career he was offer a management job, but he declined and opted to stay on the Engineering side. It was not unusual for him to have a boss who was younger than him and made less money than him. Uncle was able to get pay increases and promotions by staying in Engineering without having to move to Management to get advancement. This dual track option needs to be implemented in other industries, as when you move a great Engineer to the management side, your business just lost a great Engineer that was producing. Nothing wrong with the Management side if that is what you want, but no reason to require a great performer to move to management in order to get more money or promotions.
He was lucky to work in a company that had a dual track. In many companies only the management track gets the big rewards. The job of the whole company is to provide value to the customer. Front line workers do this directly. But they don't do payroll or taxes or capital equipment purchases. They have specialists to support them. Engineers have technical expertise front line workers don't have. Not everybody can/needs to do calculus and understand geology. Everybody should be rowing together.
Good companies should be training up good management. Not just promoting. Management should be monitored, are they doing a good job. Or are they on a vengeance parade and running out people that they personally just don't like. MONITOR the management as well as the employees. Poor leadership destroys good companies.
Ken, that's exactly what happened to me. My boss promised me an assistant manager position, without me asking. So I felt like I got slapped in the face when he randomly brings in a manager without telling me.
I never asked for the position, but after he told me, I was ecstatic and waiting on the moment. Just to be heart broken! I left that very same day and told the manager he lacked the balls to be a good leader.
Ohh, I get why you were upset (rightfully so) but burning bridges can come back on you. Better to just smile and wish them luck as you leave. This allows the small possibility that they contact you in the future for help and then you can charge them a ripoff rate for your time.
When my manager asks personal questions, or, how I’m doing, it makes me enormously uncomfortable. I feel like I’m being put on a list of some kind.
Trust is earned but not when there’s a gun to our heads.
Mandatory Corporate HR training indirectly discourages the personal conversation.
I had been asking my former company for a change, for years! They had been stacking on responsibilities, not stimulating stuff, but CRAP DETAIL until I couldn't keep up and missed something. No one can be everywhere! Over the entire holiday season, they wouldn't tell me where I stood with the company. I was physically ill! Then they finally told me that all was well. I took a new job 4 months later, and in a much better place. Yes, I was ANGRY!
Having a pathway for growth is 10x better than a slightly higher than average salary. When leaders provide clear expectations for promotions and salary increases through regular feedback sessions, employees are more likely to stay.
This is happening to the company I work for right now. We told them last year that we want more money. Now they act shocked when the site lead takes another job with a significant pay raise and another person quits without notice. They were already taking 4 months to fill a low level position.
Amen Brother!! Well said … see & seed into their potential. Quit the narcissistic manipulation, diminishing and belittling . BTW I resigned I didn’t quit! 😜. Best decision of my entire work life. Health is wealth!
Best video on this channel in a long time. Agree on all counts
Ken, this might* be one of your best videos! Great structure and content.
That second reason is why I want to leave my job, and why I'm going to school right now to change my career.
Amen! Preach Ken! These are the facts folks!
Just keep in mind that the grass isn’t always greener on the other end of the fence, too. There’s a reason why boomerang employees are increasing.
Three reasons:
1. political bs
2. companies trying to manipulate and dictate people's lives outside of work
3. promises not delivered.
Incredible advice! All leaders should hear this. 100% agree that the trust part needs to be there for folks to be vulnerable with a leader.
I turned down "promotions" to management at pretty much every company I worked at, once quitting when they said that refusing wasn't an option. If I wanted to be a manager I'd have taken business courses. But what I always wanted to do is just what I was doing, hands on software development / application architecture work. Why do companies insist on taking good capable engineers and turning them into mediocre at best managers? Occasionally you get an engineer that makes a great manager but it's so rare as to be noteworthy.
I recently put in my 2 week notice at work and it hurts I’ve been with the company for 12 years . I really enjoyed working here but for the last few years there’s been a lot of new changes in management and I don’t think they got the right people all they see is a number
And is either your productivity is good but not great or your productivity is low and either way you get no raise .
another great pep talk. I'm definitely dealing with 2 and 3. I have a lid on me. Time to go!
I do so much at work and I get the most crap talked about me.
Great segment. I've probably had 23-25 bosses-leaders to work for so far and surprisingly only 2 were disastrous. I quit both of the those 2 in short time and moved on to enjoy much better opportuities. (funny how they act shocked - yes, they can be idiots) The other 23 were all good-great leaders and mentors. Not one leader-boss was the same at all and each one had their own style. That helped me learn so much about interacting in biz and also in life.
I quit my last job because the executive leadership team demoted everyone in my department to even up two sites in different states that were at different levels in the company. That showed me they were more focused on structure and process than my actual contributions.
Most people I know would rather get a pay bump and bonus to take care of their personal issues as opposed to some boss that can't really help asking about their personal life.
Quiet quitting. 🤫 shhhh.
nice video. If you have a good relationship with your boss, you can actually mentor them to be successful and be promoted and a virtuous circle is formed. I am very lucky to have a great manager and it is night and day compared to the bad managers I have had.
you got that right. life is too short for those sorts of things
I have worked in administration in Higher Education for three years. I’m in the top 1% out of 400 in my department. I am three years away from completing my PhD.
I was given an insultingly low raise 6 months ago.
Recently I was asked to take a “promotion” without a raise in compensation. The promotion involved a change in title, additional hours, additional responsibilities with the promise to be considered for a directors role at some point in the future. I turned down the opportunity. I’m ready to move on.
However, after 300 plus applications in 4 months, the offers are few and far between. The economy is terrible. I will find an acceptable opportunity, but I am not motivated to stay with my current University and may not stay in higher education.
Min 3:12 asking personal question could come off as fake. This fakeness then can be turned around and stab an employee in the back.
Have not met a manager that had good intentions when they start asking you about personal life. The fakeness just oozes out.
Although accurate, I don't like to use the term "direct report" so I say "team member" instead. IMO, this helps in feeling a more sense of belonging
Many people struggle with personal finance I think it's even worse for the number of business that know how to treat workers right. Right now my company under pays and over works its entry level workers and they wonder why so much turnover. Meanwhile the more experienced workers are picking up the slack and getting burned out. Upper Management is clueless and stuck in its ways. This describes millions of other businesses.
Amen. I was in sales and it was so exhausting. The company was so strict. We had to be on zoom w camera on and no hours missed. It was too much for me. We had to get 3 sales per hour or go home. I got so burned out and left immediately. And got a better and less stressful job.
To be a good a good leader you need to be fair with your team. You let a couple get away with murder everyone knows.
Needed to hear this today. I am considering an opportunity for a career change into a leadership role. It's why I am leaving and why I am excited about a new opportunity. Thank you.
Wow ken. Great video! Spot on
My manager is a frat boy leading a group of older men. Maturity seems like a foreign concept to the guy, but he's too insecure to take the hint that growing up a but might benefit him.
This was a really good episode👌
The company I work for is a great organization with fantastic bosses. My frustration with work is that, as a society, we do not allow those that choose not to work to suffer enough. An able body person should only be able to recieve assistance that allows them to barely survive. They should have no level of comfort or enjoyment.
Whats the point of hiring professionals with alot of experience and treating them like interns while giving them lots of money?
I just don't understand the logic./
In my company they decided to make it easier on HR and accounting by giving flat raises to everyone.....if you are in the top 10% of performers you get the same raise as the bottom 10%. So i tell people looking at my company i stress that the raises are flat and you need to get your money up front.
It seems as if manager types come back from their management training more draconian than ever. Too many companies are following the Amazon model which fires the bottom 10% of their performers. It is a standard upheld year after year.
Jack Welch started that "rank and yank" crap at GE, thinking it would improve the organization. The business world leaped on it, but refuse to admit it is discredited.
The problem is that it can initially improve an organization that has a lot of deadweight, but if the company KEEPS doing it after improvement has been reached, it can be devastating. Why? Because instead of trying to get out of the bottom 10%, employees sabotage enough other emploees to make THEM the bottom 10%
Great video Ken!
The majority of leader in my point of view crave the position of power and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Not all, but most. Then when they are there the do whatever they can to put you down so that they don't have to face their own ineptitude. You can literally be killing it, every day, and they will find a way to put you down. Why? Because they are not good enough.
Interesting video Ken
Amen Ken, Amen.
I work at a company where they want to pay everyone the same....I've generated millions in revenue for this startup....how valued do you think I feel?
Well said!
Check out the peter principle.
Duhhhh so true!
Where’s SuperDave? This dude keeps coming up under my Ramsey channel 😡
I feel as though Dave Ramsey hired Ken to capture more of the “victim” audience. Dave needed to tap into the whiners that want to accept no responsibility for their own lives and Ken gives him that audience. I can’t think of any other reason Ken would make sense on Dave’s show.
lol, found a CEO's account
@@nekomimi5471😂😂😂yep
Sounds a little like the Peter Principal.😂
💯 agree.
I don't discuss my personal life at work - and I would advise noone do it either.
Amen 🙏🏾 Amen 🙏🏾 Amen 🙏🏾
Companys,think about numbers and numbers,make the goals what you get?thank you and reduccion of hours and want more more with less
This is the US Army. We will force you you into rank advancement and leadership whether you want it , capable of it or that you are perfectly good at your present job.
peter principle.
I'll give you an idea. We received a TWO SENTENCE email today for employee appreciation today.
No lame pizza party, no walk thru and shake hands...
A Two sentence email.
Just dont even bother if thats all you got.
And that was 3 levels of management up. Other 2 levels didnt do anything or mention it.
Thats all you need to know,
You're so out of touch with how detached management is from human relations of any kind its hilarious and almost unbelievable to watch.
what happened to your voice Ken? Are you lowering it on purpose? you sound more serious lol.
Cold
✝️🙏
Ken sick or something? Sounds different.
I was thinking the same. Sounds like he slept outside in a snow storm.
Very blessed to have known stellar leaders in my youth. Anti micro management
Good leaders who’re good humans too are incredibly hard to come across
Right!
