Why Good Employees Quit - the Main Reason for Employee Turnover
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2024
- Are your good employees quitting? When top talent quits, it can be mystifying, infuriating, and costly. Our research shows that the average cost of turnover is $235,975 per employee! It's even more frustrating when you're trying to sort through exit interview feedback or whatever the flavor of the month "reasons that employees quit" survey in the news happens to be.
You've probably heard it all before:
- Lack of career advancement
- Not feeling paid what they're worth.
- Job fit
- Negative relationships with boss and coworkers.
The shifting list of reasons can make it impossible to establish a successful employee retention strategy.
The key is to understand the universal, main reason for employee turnover, then establish a proactive strategy to address it.
You may be surprised to know that you can even apply Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory to boost employee engagement and reduce turnover.
That's exactly the approach I take with my clients, and you'll discover that plus a success framework and three ways to address it immediately in this video.
Here's when you can download how to calculate the cost of turnover for the employees in your organization. It includes a helpful tool and a video from yours truly explaining it: • WHY YOUR LEADERS BURNOUT

The good employees quit because they are tired of watching the shitty one’s get promoted and make more for doing nothing. Shifty management also adds to the impact of why good employees leave.
This is so true
So true
So true
The shitty employees get promoted because someone in Management is their Casino Buddy.
I’m living through this now. My boss acts like I’m immature for complaining but also wants me to keep bringing problems to the table. Ok the lazy person being promoted is a problem
A good employee has two enemies; bad leaders and bad workers, both of which are 100% management’s responsibility.
It's primarily the organisation's responsibility to ensure the appointment of good employees and their managers/leaders.
@ContentBocce-io8wb There are 2 types of employees. Those loyal to the mission, and those loyal to the organization. Managers promote people loyal to the organization because it gives them more control and over time; only burocrats remain.
most people quit mainly because of bad colleagues or bad managers/bosses
This is definitely a factor for many employees. That's why training can make such a positive impact. It's important to recognize that there are other factors as well, right?
@@leadtheteamwithbenfanning8397 QUIT LYING...be honest about a posting, HONEST about terms & expectations, and QUIT using the Peter Principle.
@@leadtheteamwithbenfanning8397 Yes, there are other factors, BUT bad managers/bosses are 60% of the problem. Vast majority.
I don't know how business admins solve problems, but in engineering we address the biggest problem first.
Shit pay too
Yes and yes....
I have another one. An office bully who is actively protected by management. Try talking to this person, nothing. Go to bosses, they tell you to "deal with it".
I will. Somewhere else.
That's definitely tough feedback for a leader. On one hand, it's important to learn to deal with these situations so we can lead and help others do the same. On the other, it's important that leaders support team members so they can overcome these kinds of challenges. A supported employee is usually one with lots of positive potential!
Or they fire you for “snitching”
I was just hired as a car porter for a contractor of one of the big car companies. I needed work after retiring from my office job of 35 years. I had quitted my porter job after 2 weeks due to the head porter, who shuttle us around to different lots, was very abrasive, impatient, and didn't have the patience to showing newbies the ropes. He had only been at that company only 6 months himself. I ssen him curse out another much younger porter for being on his phone and not help him look out for a particular car parked in a certain parking lot as we circled the lot looking for it. This guy was toxic and admitted to being an A hole at times
Micro management, no growth, CRAPPY raises, tóxic managers. I wish them well.
Stressful work, small salary, no benefits
i.e. most jobs.
@@maxalberts2003 well then "most jobs" have too much power over its people
@@leunamreyo3663 Did you somehow mistakenly think I don't agree? And it isn't the "job," it's the employer who has too much power over employees.
G4s Namibia the most toxic management and assholes I've ever seen in my life I know karma will catch up with them
Workload, workload, workload. High performing employees like to take on more than others and we function at a higher workload than the average employees. But there is a fine line to being overworked. Do not cross that line or we will leave. This is the number one reason that I have quit the majority of my jobs.
High performers get handed more work because it’s easier for the bosses to ask a yes person that will get it done than to ask and follow up and have to correct the work of the average employees.
When we are overworked and not compensated and not promoted we will leave.
💯
We also want to ‘get the job done’. ‘Whatever it takes, as long as it is legal’. But it is very easy to lean on someone like that, we’ll work, missing weekends, putting in 18-20 hours a day ‘to get the job done’. It is not sustainable for more than a couple of decades, and if a company lets it get that far, they should not be surprised when that employee that manages to pull off remarkable feats decides to run off with the circus or go off touring with a travelling bluegrass band, or maybe make a career switch from engineering to bagging groceries.
@@dale116dot7 Agree 💯 I very much fantasize about doing a job in nature like a park ranger. I know I’m not qualified to do it, but I think about it.
@@dale116dot7 or hit it big in cryp to in the coming bull run
Good employees quit when a small group of competent employees do the majority of the work that is produced while the people who are not productive get paid on the same paygrade, receive equal credit, and are never held accountable for the job function they should be doing but are not. That's what pushes me to find new employment. I'm sick of doing more than other people simply because I know how to do it. I'm at the point in my life that my time is more important than the money so I'm not interested in working endless hours. I'm not looking to make a name for myself, I already have that.
This is why I’m starting my own business. Jobs nowadays are a joke I would rather make more money with my own business instead of dealing with toxic co workers and managers in a toxic work environment while getting underpaid. It’s not worth it.
Just remember them feelings when you employ people. Remember that side
Too late. Nothing my employer can do to bring me back…..I’m out of there.
Shucks. Well best of luck in your new endeavor. Hope its going well now.
I recently asked for a raise, got denied and now my manager has turned into a micromanager and has become condescending.
About to quit.
Jealousy
The Open Door policy is bullshit, especially when your boss is the problem.
An open door policy is tough to manage. Most leaders I meet have not really defined what this means for the team, so they don't really know the best way to take advantage of it. It can really be effective when its clear. It can help manager get ahead of employee quitting and resolve issues early.
Good employees quit bad managers, not companies. Micro-management, not listening, entitledness, etc, are all toxic traits of bad managers and there are more bad managers out there than good managers. This is why there is so much job turnover in the last 2 years specifically. Good people are tired of working for terrible people.
Part of the problem is how experience is perceived in order to be promoted to management.
A manager or supervisor who quietly arranges assignments, processes, and people so there’s rarely any issues, and the employees are happy is rarely promoted. Since they are smart enough to prevent disasters or employee relations problems, it is perceived that they don’t do anything. There’s nothing to report. They have a virtually blank resume since their management style effectively prevented the obstacles that others have had to overcome.
The ones who create a disaster, or serial disasters due to their management style, and then ride to the rescue cleaning up the very messes that their management style created are perceived as active, adaptable managers who can solve challenging problems and are perceived to be great leaders by others in management.
Seen it far too many times.
Those clown shows are also another reason for high turnover of excellent, hard-working employees of all levels, especially when they have to take the brunt of those self-aggrandizing decisions in the form of pay reductions or layoffs to balance a quarterly, only to be offered rehire or pay restoration once the quarterly numbers are in, making the offender look good, again.
I've only ever quit because of my boss. IN ALL COMPANIES I'VE EVER WORKED IN. Actually, in my last job interview (before the one for my current job), my potential boss seemed like an 455hole so when he asked my expected salary at the end, I asked for an insane amount just because I really didn't want him to hire me.
I would just say the true ... sorry after the interview I do not want to work here ... thx.
Block peak performers from promotion #1.
Yes indeed, managers be watching you to see you will make a plenty "mistakes" then write you up for it. Coworkers talk trash infront other workers and "snitch" to managers. What irks me is that they be like "we're a team" "we're a family" 😂
Thats a classic line i have always laughed at i work for you were not family were co workers i work to pay bills and for my pride hard work etc
Businesses need to stop telling employees that they're family. Letting people go is always a business decision, nothing more. Performance reviews are the companies way of selecting people to get rid of/ excuse any pay increases that should be provided. Also accusing employees of leaving because they are putting money above everything else. People aren't living to work. They are working to live. The only ones who work, sweat, and bleed the business are the ceos that start the company. No one else. Ceo passion will alway be diehard. Employees should never be forced to have that level of attitude or commitment. Businesses that refuse to keep up with the highest cost of living in the USA, deserve to fail.
Make sense that there's a big difference between being a family member and an employee. It's often still a difficult decision for both parties to part ways. The key for leaders is to understand why it happening so they can course correct as needed.
100%
Over worked, nasty internal customers. That why I quit a 34 yr job today.
That's really heartbreaking. No doubt the cost to the company of you leaving was high!
Update?
The employee should not be more qualified than the management. i.e. hiring the manager of a Walmart to be the safety director of a HAZ-MAT tank trucking company.
That can be frustrating especially if you've been hoping to get promoted.
@@leadtheteamwithbenfanning8397 it's more about the safety of the community we work in. It's a lot like being around someone from another country, we truly speak completely different languages, the blank look on his face speaks volumes. The disconnect is that of the grand canyon.
@@leadtheteamwithbenfanning8397 It's not about jealousy, it's about complete total idiots with no experience being put in charge because they have a fake diploma from some place like Axact
I work as an RN and can tell anyone all these issues are ABSOLUTELY pervasive in nursing !
The worlds needs good nurses for sure! It's too bad that nursing is such a high-burnout field. Hopefully this video is helpful to those creating wellness programs in healthcare systems.

The previous lady who the role before me left within 6 months. Her resignation letter was 2 pages long. I survived 2 months. These were the reasons why i left:
- employees are not appreciated for their work. Employees are treated like they are machines.
- micromanagement
- you will be given your first tasks without proper guidance.
- disorganised company processes and no respect for process.
- lack of respect for data protection.
- harassment.
- lack of cooperation from other workers to get things done.
- total LACK of humility; respect and decent values towards staff by Superiors. They care only about the residents.
- high workload
- unreasonable timescale to deliver tasks.
In summary, a structurless; chaotic; disorganised; dysfunctional and disgusting entity.
FYI - left my job (as a high performer) because other people who left were not replaced and I kept getting more work and no more pay. I was extremely stressed and kept telling my superiors but nothing changed. Eventually I quit even without a job lined up. Then they offered me an 11% pay bump to stay, but by then I was just done. Emotional safety is a thing too.
Got a new job. Much more relaxed environment. After 2 years making almost twice what I made before. I wish I had left sooner!!
1. Negative relationships - mostly boss related which is automatically connected to #2 and #3: 2. lack of career advancement, 3. Lack of visibility internally and externally (lack of recognition). All other factors are less important from my experience.
Nice. This list can be really large for sure. It's helpful to narrow it down by using the 80/20 rule so you can prioritize and focus your effort and resources.
I am the maverick. I am the cavalier. I am the quick learner. I am the sweaty, try-hard employee, whose numbers make my co-workers look bad. There are few like me, but i do exist. When you have an employee like me, you know you do. And, speaking on behalf of employees like me, you're not going to find the reason we are quitting from videos like this. The reason why we are quitting is because we are being under-utilized, and are put in a situation at your company where we have nothing to lose, and nothing to gain. More than likely, you LIED in the interview about what the job would be. Instead of looking outwards to videos like this for answers, look inward and ask yourself why you are such a bad person, and what the payoff of your actions are, because we would never tell this to you, never give you a warning, not even in an exit interview. You'd be lucky if we can even stand you enough for us to put in a two-weeks. We would rather keep you guessing, and toast marshmallows with the fire of you burning the place to the ground with amateur management.
exploiter DO NOT CARE !!! ONLY thing that MATTERs is $$$
I've had multiple times of an idea or procedure I've brought attention too only to have it told to me it won't work or doesn't matter or ignored all together. Then a few months later it gets implemented to the department and employees as a management mandate as if it were their idea. I rarely do it anymore, the ideas that is.
I left my old IT job because there was no chance for advancement, raises stank, benefits were ok IF you lived in Seattle proper which I didn't. The company's stock tanked 10 yrs ago and never recovered, so my stock options were useless. They killed our team building stuff.
Damn
Right on the money. I believe you nailed it when you mentioned about not getting recognition. My boss assigned me a task to design the software then turned around and gave it to another coworker without telling me. And this coworker of mine is always getting recognition for the things he does. How do I get a piece of the action too? Is it time to leave my job?
Leave.
Yes, it is time to leave. Lazy coworkers at my job are always getting promoted while I get stuck with their work.😠 I am looking for another job. I wish I could afford to just quit.
Yes. It's WAY past time.
Yes. Walk away, no notice. F them.
I have been interviewing for more than double my salary, I then understood in my current role I am very very very underpaid, I am conducting an very humble life when I could double my earnings, I am keeping interviewing and see where it takes me
Yeah I walked away from a job, looking at the pyramid not one of those needs were met. 6 months later, this whole company collapsed. At the time I had been working crazy hard and was still not being paid what had been promised. I came in educated and experienced. I innovated, streamlined, hired and trained. Managed all of production. My superior actually said in a meeting with all the higher-ups that she "took me off the streets and taught me everything I know." I responded by calmly nutshelling the highlights of my education and prior employment experience, and all I had done at this company. She responded by dismissing what i had just said and offered that I was a really good learner. I walked out of the meeting, out of the building and never went back. I recieved a call telling me they would bill me to change the locks if I didn't bring back the keys- I put them in the mail. A few months later I had a conversation with a former executive who was shocked as he had been told that they had begged me to come back- nope just a demand for keys.
I had an interview once at a company that described themselves (among other things) as "team building" and "peer driven." What that translated to was simple. They were rebuilding everything after the company hit a slump for years. Plus, Management staff didn't actually run anything beyond metrics and sales. It was a free for all as to who exactly was in charge, with little discipline or oversight.
Two red flags I should have paid attention to during the interview were when my future Manager asked me if I had a history of interpersonal problems with co-workers, and then stated that they were looking for lifelong employees. I needed the job, accepted the offer, but then regretted doing so. I worked there for roughly 1 1/2 years inspecting pacemaker components. And every time I rejected a lot of those components, there would be an analytics session, a few meetings and the quality standards would always be *lowered.*
I left without a notice. It was a shame, because oddly enough I got along well with my Supervisor and Manager.
Good on you. I quit a job I worked at for 3 years because they made a coworker do something 'legal but immoral'. I quit the next day. I will not work for a company that lowers their standards to make a buck. I felt justified when 6 months later the business was cited and closed by the city for not enforcing regulations.
I've seen pretty much all this. One of the worst is when the lazy/bad employees get paid the same amount as the hard workers. I'm ready to quit my job because I've already told my boss that I can't do nights anymore. Its affecting my health (I had two ulcers this past summer). I'm considered one of the hardest workers in the company but yet nothing could be done for me and yet I see the Per diems/on calls get day shifts more than me. I was screwed once from getting an evening position so I'm at the point where my boss no longer cares. Especially he does nothing about the lazy workers.
The main reason I stayed with my tech. job is because they gave friday and saturday off, other than that I would've left a long time ago.
People don't quit jobs, they quit managers.
I cannot understand why the turnover is so high. It puts a lot of stress on us that must take on the extra work because someone quit. Or was fired. They had scheduled hours and we were depending on a certain amount of us (me including) to show up.
I love where I am at. Wish they could find out why many are quitting.
I've looked at a few of these purely because I feel a bit like the discomforts I have are mad. I wanted to know what I am thinking has some legitimacy! This is the first video of this sort that has hit the nail on the head.
I feel like the people watching this are the good employees who feel like quitting
I work in the hospitality industry. In my old job prior to relocating I was running bars by myself, I was thrown into the busy bars, I was taught some of the gaming side of things, etc, after only weeks of being there. My employers there saw my potential and pushed me to grow quite quickly. I LOVED that job and I felt so valued and recognised. I’ve been in my current job for only a month and I already have a foot out the door. I’ve already picked up too many red flags that they don’t recognise / value individual skills / experience. I watch less experienced staff being put behind the bar, while I’m waiting tables. These staff don’t want to do the necessary training for the gaming side of the job, whereas I’ve asked to do it and my requests have been ignored. Now i understand why they have a high staff turnover.
Lol this is a horrible take. Notice he kept saying money isn't important. My guy, if you are putting in the work, hell yeah i want to be compensated. Typical bs advise.
He was saying payment isn’t the only factor
For me, if I see a pattern of dishonesty / unethical behaviors, I check out and it isn’t repairable. I let things slide a little in case it was out of character, but if it emerges as a pattern, I’m done.
I retired. I didn't retire from the job, I retired from the boss. To be blunt, I just was tired of his shit, his incompetence, his cronyism, and one day he pulled his crap one . time . too . many. Soon as he left my desk, I filled out the retirement papers.
No future growth, low pay, job fit all surprisingly are the actual reason I want to leave my current role. I will also add, job does not fit the description. I applied to one job and it seems I am doing 2 or 3 at a time often yet I am only paid for 1.
If you are a new manager then you inherit the team. If there is someone you dont like, you want them to quit because you want to hire your own team. If you hire them then there is a sense of ownership. I have heard several managers say, "If they dont like it they can quit and I can hire who I want."
....and that's when nepotism flourished.
That is definitely sometimes the case. On the other hand, when I've managed teams with lots of seniority, I was thankful to have their insight and help. Saved a lot of time and money.
A good manager would make the best out of the employees who are already in the team.
Correct. Trouble with that is when nepotism sets in standards and performance always receed.
One reason you did not mention is over-relying on the same employee(s) because they are capable, dependable, and deliver. Companies need to concentrate on only assigning the most valuable assignments on the highest performers. Instead they are lazy and keep shoveling more and more work to the same resources until those employees become ineffective or leave. You can use euphemisms like undervalued or underpayed but it is actually overworked and mismanaged (both the assignment of assignments and the employee resources themselves).
At my job three employees quit in one week. Two middle managers and a coordinator and one new employee quit after three days.
another piece of advise from an employee. DO NOT LIE TO YOUR EMPLOYEES. if you lie to them, they will lose all respect, and leave possible taking several employees with them. Don't make false promises, and DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH THEM.
Bottom line, poor managers. Employees quit on management, not companies.
It's easier to blame for each other than find our own problem and get a helping hand. It will be a dream to work in a team like that.
Sad to say not every workplace works as a team, some are too selfish to help others or managers didnt listen to others problems, they just care for themselves
I would start putting things in categories. 1) Boss problems, 2) Company problems, 3) Job problems
Bosses usually tend to commit a number of work sins, even if they are otherwise a fairly good boss: age discrimination, playing favorites, double standards, holding grudges, pigeonholing, unrealistic expectations, etc....
Companies can go from "everybody wants to work there" to "dumpster fire" in a relatively short time merely with a few poorly thought out decisions or a new hires/promotions. When a company can't settle on a corporate culture and it's always up in the air, or decides the old established one (which may be working) needs a shake-up, then nobody feels safe. Also, it's always a bad thing when a company decides to incorporate politics into how it runs.
Finally, the job itself may be the problem. It may be a horror to do, lack the needed resources to complete properly, be a dumping group for problem employees so it never works properly, or any number of other problems that make a specific job miserable to do.
You might be able to deal with one of these issues, two of them if you work at fixing the problems, but not all three. Since these problems tend to cascade into each other, when one of them becomes a fixed issue over time, the other two are sure to follow.
Thanks! Definitely helpful to put them into categories first before making any big changes. Goes to show that rarely does a "one size fits all" solution do the trick!
I worked at an office where, every time I got up to go anywhere -- the file room, the break room, the bathroom, up at the reception counter -- the boss would always ask where I was, which sent someone from their desk to go looking for me as if my picture was on a milk carton.
That got old real quick. But if there ever becomes an employment opportunity for a butt plug, he'll be a definite shoe-in. heh heh ... see what I did there?*
*At least I didn't substitute "an employment opportunity" with "an opening". Yeah, I giggled a little bit, but that was low-hanging fruit.
Mostly toxic coworkers boss underpaid and your just a number
Not be allowed to advance because you excel at your job. Underperforming coworkers being rewarded the same as the high performers.
I’ve never realized I’m so low at Maslow hierarchy. I’m in the bottom physiological needs, and I make 6 figures...
Because bad ones get fired before they have a chance to quit, so naturally it only leaves the good ones to quit x)
hahaha! That's a really great perspective. It works a little differently in large organizations but thanks for stopping by.
I find (in large organisations) few people are fired as retaining and getting new staff is relatively difficult so bad workers tend to stick around in the same job for many years. Good workers tend to either move departments or outright leave to follow their goals. Not all companies the same but this always drove me crazy.
I am in a position to have more knowledge than my manager. And I never got recognized by his side. I need to speak about myself (stupid!) how I did something. Proving yourself for months and years is non sense and toxic culture and it happens in huge corporations.
Main reason: money. Done
Unfortunately, a lot of bosses are going to watch this and say "Oh the reason is work satisfaction and not salary? I better not give people raises and have pizza parties instead, why are people leaving??"
Relying on money alone for employee retention is bad. Ignoring it is also just as bad.
It’s the pay most ppl don’t have a livable wage … pay ppl more which will make ppl have higher buying power which will make business more money it’s that simple
I am the third employee at a startup, and the first engineer hired. Im now looking for a way out because 1.) my employer obfuscated details about my equity (telling me neither the total amount of shares in the company, nor the amount we were diluted post-seed until I pressed him 3 times), 2.) implying that he won't increase my equity to match that of most engineers in my position (0.25% post-dilution according to Carta, vs the 0.02-0.03% from my current grant), and 3.) I learned that he screwed over collegues back in grad school snd has left a trail of burnt bridges and angry people in his wake The product is awesome and I have faith in its potential, but I do not trust the man leading the charge to _not_ actively screw myself and other employees out of compensation.
This video, if I’m not mistaken, was posted during the time of the great resignation.
I quit my job because I hated being the loyal yet pathetic worker. I was always the slow one, the guy who easily messed up and needed someone to guide him (my brain is wired differently). Heck, I remember the time I accidentally set the wedding reception tables with black linens instead of white, due to being so used to setting the former for most other events. My ex-boss was impatiently puzzled by that. That's when she started thinking I couldn't do shifts by myself. And then one day, I overheard her conversation with a colleague about how my coworker Sam and I would manage this one service by ourselves. "They'll be fine. Sam is very smart, strategic, and a great leader, and John...is very willing and diligent." You see that? She talked about how Sam was so brainy and innovative and I was just so good and hardworking. She reflected on his _skills_ and on my _choices._ She clearly enough didn't think I was capable of anything. So it's a good thing I'm such a good guy who works hard, because that's all I got going for me. And that's why I left the job. A beautiful girl wouldn't want to put on makeup and do her hair if it makes her a dumb blonde. And a good kid wouldn't want to do the right thing all the time if it made them a goodie-two-shoes. Do you guys see my point?
I get it,but dude, they have a point. You’re lucky you weren’t fired for making mistakes like that over and over. You even called yourself a “pathetic worker.”
Where can i find a link to the data provided here, looking for the cost of losing an employee. I’d like to read more about it.
Hey There, you can get that here. You'll also find a quick video that explains the cost. I think you'll find it helpful! www.benfanning.com/turnover/
That’s where I’m at. Lack of career advancement and pay. That’s why I’m considering finding another job.
I'm about to leave because there is no place to grow. I've asked to work with my manager to find a way to grow within my position. He agrees that i am the bedrock of the department buy can not/will not help me grow.
It’s tiring when you keep hiring people and firing them!!!!
The tendency of gossips for bad employee and employer relationships will damage the company reputation!!!
The job, boss, company sucks...or there's a hostile environment involving promotions.
Right on point!
#1. Secrets. Who gets paid what. And why... everyone wants to climb. You don't pay them? You don't need them...
Is there a future working "for you"? (not even "with you"... just "for you", like one is your "lowest cost option"...)
The biggest one in my opinion is seeing a political culture beat common sense, logic and fairness. When you realise the main key to success is kissing the bosses ass no matter how insane the orders are, it's over. If you're a good solid worker with a strong sense of right and wrong, you realise you will have zero upward mobility, you'll never be promoted, the core is rotten. Some people thrive in a cult environment, and they're the psychos and sociopaths. But most don't. The good people leave and the psychos will choke the place and the company will only get more rotten, more toxic and it'll only get more unbearable. Like the Chernobyl Reactor the poison will simply build up and eventually that company will blow. That's when you get hundreds of people coming in and leaving in a year or year and a half.
Yes grown adults don’t do cultish culture. A lot of managers want to control your personality and make their team a family in the most inappropriate ways. They often have “unspoken” hierarchal rules that encourage people to be rude and toxic towards each other based on their position. People who are eager to brown nose and fall in line with a cultish toxic culture are praised and accepted and those who won’t conform are ostracized and stick out like a sore thumb. It’s best to leave these environments because think about it, if you get promoted within that type of team you are making a deeper commitment to toxicity and event it will either change you to becoming like them or destroy you in the end. Get out early and find a way to make your OWN income.
As a 55 year old. Historically a go getter. I've worked for 3 good managers. Three in 37 years. I've learned to not be a go getter. You can't get anybody to work? I'm not going to produce either.
I m the best employee in the current I work , but I decided to leave, I see just the bad ones getting promoted and me just getting more job .
I developed many automated processes and now my company is piss with me because I’m leavening . Also the reason is my manager . The whole team don’t have skills to perform and is like to see earning the same money as I do…
Good lines of communication from the top down to side to side is important.
Everyone is important, there's no disposable jobs within the company.
Allow people to do their job. Dont take away areas of their job only to do it more poorly and add work to the employee.
Have an open door policy and pay attention to it. If an employee/manager is getting multiple complaints, then its not people just complaining.
Good benefits.
Good raises.
Your employees(labor), product/service and customers are your company not the shareholders. Are the shareholders stocking, solving problems with customers, cleaning, ordering....no. Take care of the company and the shareholders will automatically be taken care of.
Really not hard.
Honestly, Im sure most of us employees have observed the revolving door current business model. It is not about the employees. The majority of businesses emplitmented this model to save money on salary raises for loyal employees. Short term gains for the company. As the employees figure it out...they quit early, and use the businesses the same way their businesses use their employees.
You might have a point. That’s why they don’t care about culture. It might not be as expensive to hire new talent if you’re paying them a lowball salary. Landlords raise rent, employers lower salaries. So they make turnover work for them, we should make turnover work for us!

Yes my last workplace ( leaving the company name out of respect ) had to do with family members taking the highest positions in the company no disrespect but just because you're a family member doesn't give you the same quality of leadership, promoting the wrong people ( related or in love with their daughters teacher pets etc ) ultimately the work I did was really cool to do really not the same all the time which is something I like instead of mind numbing work yet, being framed for a reject and seeing the qualified workers leave literally diminished my career dream in less than a month I done a bit of overtime and missed that part on the shoulder until last week when they told me they won't be needing me anymore
People that are good in work are good out of work. No debt, life sorted, they have options. Working for a employer for most is is one step up from welfare.
In short the good employees always have options
But employees are interchangeable. Besides, finishing projects and adjusting employees out of position after can maximize quarterly profits.
I rather eat shit than work for somebody in this day and age. Its soul sucking.
The background music did it.
I left my last job because the CIO cut my pay in half.
what about they quit because they need a real career Not a job? or what about they quit because being an employee is being a looser?
Greetings, No, none of the above.... It's being trapped in someone else's time and space. To me this is the reason work sucks... But, what can most folks do? You can love your job, like licking the cake batter, off your mothers spoon. However after an hour, you still want to get the heck out of the building.
That's why they call it, WORK.... Oh, and not for naught, why are most businesses, still operating on ROOSTER TIME? 😷
To hell with raises or promotions. What employees really want is more pizza parties.
Because it's not worth staying
The team talk makes me puke in my mouth. I really don't care about belonging to a fucking team. I work for compensation. . . that's it
Wow in my company that pyramid doesn't exist at all.
Yes, I quit because of my manager.
I'm there for the money.... & when your debt free .. me.. you can put up with their shenanigans.. a debt free employee is happi
Toxic upper management #1 reason.
It can’t cost that much. If it really costs 200 something thousand dollars per person, then it means the job is too specialized and needs to be streamlined.
#1. Terrible pay
#2. Boomer prick bosses.
because they get treated like trash and suffer all the consequences while lazy co workers see 0 repercussions
This is all bull... employees leave because of lack trust with employer or/and pay
It isn't complicated... employees provide a service, and corporations don't care about their employees anymore. Solve that issue and we can have a real conversation about employee turnover
money is the best motivation not titles
Good comment section
Failing Upwards, and cronism.
Those two are definitely difficult to deal and, without a helpful strategy, many employees will consider leaving. Will definitely create a helpful video for this! Thanks!
BS !!! BOSS actually want slaves to leave !!! to reduce the threat of longevity
What does this mean?
I've been very lucky in my 8yr working career in that, I've actually had great bosses in every one of my jobs.
I've left jobs for a few reasons:
-i wasn't learning anything new
-(I've always wanted more responsibility that others might want at my level) but I want given the level of responsibility that I would have liked because it wasn't in the level of my job role.
-burn out (when I was a chef).
-in my last job 2 of my managers left (my direct manager and his deputy) and I got on really well with them, so I left as it wasn't going to be the same without them there because he was like a father to me and she was like a big sister.
I'm leaving My current job at the end of my Contract for only one reason... I don't like the operating procedures, they are fucking stupid and make no sense!
My boss in this job is so supportive and wants me to stay not because of the general cost of having to train someone new but because I'm one of the best and most trustyworthy Staff in our company site
If employees cant pay their bills and god forbid save a little for retirement theyre going to leave
Lol what industry is thay 235k per employee
Any company in the US. The cost can easily reach $300,000.
Most companies don't take the time to go through the calculation. Most of the time when we walk a leadership team through this it's eye opening!
