    Most companies don't really care of you leave, you'll be replaced very quickly and forgotten about! Always remember that and never be loyal to one company, because they are not loyal to you. Also, I highly doubt many managers or leaders are watching this... it's probably the people that are planning to leave!

      A long time ago, companies had a sense of loyalty to good employees. My dad worked for GE for over 35 years, then he retired. Now people work for a company for a few years, get laid off, or downsized, find a new job, rinse and repeat. When you retire, IF you retire, you might have over a dozen companies on your resume. In my dad's day, if you worked hard and did a good job, the company would keep you on. Now they don't give a $hit.

    High school job experience. I was washing dishes on a Sunday morning when coupons had been put in the Sunday paper. We got slammed and then the manager walked in and gave me 2 new guys to train. Through Herculean effort I gave them rudimentary training, washed the dishes and ran them out to the floor, and did all my food prep work. I was supposed to be trained in the kitchen that afternoon but it never happened. The next week I remarked how hard I had to work that shift to an assistant manager. He laughed at me and belittled my performance. I found a scrap of paper and a pen, wrote out a 2-week notice and slipped it under the manager's door. My next shift I got told by the manager she didn't want to lose me, but that was too little too late.
    My story isn't unique. People who aren't appreciated we quit.

      What it basically comes down to is that the employer really doesn't care about anybody these days. All they care about is the bottom dollars. You are just a number to pay every week. No employees are valued for anything these days it's just your salary and how much can they get out of this number. You are consider expendable and replaced quickly by someone who knows less and is willing to work for less money. It's not quality it's quantity these days. Plain and simple.

In the mean time he's buying boats cars condos and I'm struggling to pay my mortgage to make ends meet driving a 20 yr old car. I told him I can't afford to live on my income He said tighten my belt and stop spending so much. The local grocery checker was making more than me and she was still in high school .lol .He said go look for a part time job to make some extra cash. I gave him my 2 week notice and he said today is your last day pack your toolbox and get out. Nothing like job security. He went bankrupt within a yr once I was gone. Do I regret leaving. NOPE NOT 1 SINGLE DAY.. Best thing I ever did . Got a very similar position for twice what I was paid before and get free lunch every day and ontop of that the boss bought a new company car and I would up with a free 3 yr old car that he gave me for being a great employee.

    Here's a story: One of my co-workers had worked there for over 40 years. He took all his personal belongings home, then went on a long vacation.

    If people are leaving or closing up to you - you are probably the cause. Also, in most cases managers are NOT leaders, your entire job is to squeeze as much work out of people for least pay possible.

      Pretty Short - You are right Managers behaviors are often the issue. 70% of an employees experience at work is correlated with their relationships to their manager and what they do/dont do makes all the difference. Sadly most people are promoted to manage with out any training or experience. And then are ask to produce certain results with out being giving the tools or guidance to connect with their people. And then their people have the experience you are talking about.

      There are 3 distinct types of supervisory positions:
      Boss
      Manager
      Leader
      Bosses boss /people/ around. Managers manage /employees/. Leaders lead /teams/. Remember that no one ever quit a JOB - they have only ever quit MANAGEMENT. A team is only as good as its weakest link and if your management is the weakest link than you are already doomed.

    Sharing ideas? I learned to stop sharing ideas when I realized no one in management wanted to hear them, let alone consider implementing them. If you weren't in management, no one wants to hear anything from you, just do your shift and be quiet.
    Large organizations like hospitals are where ideas go to immediately die.

      I think large corporations have a tendency to reward good news and punish bad. That leads to a culture of "no bad news up the ladder" and the people that see the problem developing might share what they are seeing with their immediate supervisor and it often ends there. The supervisor doesn't want to appear as though they are trying to rock the boat or have a team full of complainers so it doesn't go up.

      I can attest to this. I am a Registered nurse, an “outstanding clinician, a rare find” “patient’s feedback are always about how great on a human and nurse Dan is”….management jargon…so, I get more work and complicated cases, I find myself training other RNs, provide solutions rather than filing the fire, etc etc. I still perform over the expectations. Why? I can’t figure that out. Do I get compensated fairly? Absolutely not. Unfortunately, I’ve disengaged. I no longer provide feedback nor solutions during meetings. “Sure, whatever you say”…I am burned out.
      Now, you want my input? You need a problem solver? Pay up. Otherwise, hit the toilet.

    I work in the manufacturing industry and have been for 16 years. The current management team i work for has asked for suggestions to cut cost, process improvements, quality control improvements. I've given many and have been told by my direct supervisor that my suggestions are stupid and I'm retarded for even suggesting them, I've been belittled by other managers for the similar reasons. Then 3-4 months down the road the management comes out with these great ideas to improve their processes, and quality control and they're the same exact suggestions I had made months prior and was insulted for them. That's the moment i mentally check out and stopped trying to improve my productivity and given suggestions. I've worked at this company for almost 3 years, I put my two weeks notice in last week and the management team was shocked that I'm leaving.

    I watched this to see if I was exhibiting any of the signs - you nailed it. I'm so ready to quit I can taste it. I'm only hanging in there now waiting for my end of year bonus...unfortunately the economy is so garbage now that I'm worried I may be stuck, but after bonus I am going full-throttle on the job search.
    Now I need to try to hide the signs, want to keep my cards close to my chest because, frankly, I want it to be a surprise. I busted my rear in a period of very high growth when there was a lot of chaos and I had almost no resources, but still got the job done with flying colors. 5 years of reviews, nothing lower than a 4, and many 5 ratings (out of 5) which are very hard to come by. My company has taken a hard left turn, jamming "ESG" and "DEI" down our throats almost constantly, merit is out the window and all that matters now is checking the right boxes. I hope they rot.

    Thank you very much for your video.
    I was criticized over a decade ago for my doing my morning rounds by my boss's boss. I was not yet a formal people manager but checked in with team members and others who were on the same initiatives that I was...while also respecting if they seemed to be busy and shouldn't be interrupted.
    He felt it was a waste of my time. It wasn't. Surprised at that comment from him but I expect he may have felt that because I was "just" an individual contributor that it was a waste of time for me to do so.
    I believe that if you check-in almost daily, and have formal short meetings once or twice a week, that sets up an environment more conducive to slipping in one of these questions...or more without as much awkwardness. Just make it a habit.

    I don't think it will get to that point for me, but who knows? My boss is my one and only mine trap at work. My boss was upset I had signed up for a one-person shift. I'll admit I'm kind of a slow learner and do much better with a helping hand and guide, but come on, that's no excuse for being insensitive. One of our student leader's responsibilities is organizing who works which shifts on the schedule, and my boss scolded him for not noticing I had signed up for a one-person shift. When she asked him if she thought I could do the shift, I answered for him with a firm "yes," because I felt belittled by her. She said she didn't think so, was all _"I've told you not to sign up for shifts by yourself, I've been very clear about that, I don't know how much clearer I can get for you to listen"_ (something like that, so I'm not perfectly quoting her), and she told me I need someone there to give me instructions and guide me. I regretfully didn't stand up for myself, because I was intimidated. Well, now I harbor a huge amount of resentment toward her, and I pretty much don't care about her anymore. Of course, I can't quit just because of her, because the job itself is actually beneficial. I just wish she didn't work there anymore.

      Thanks for sharing John and I am sorry you have had this experience. I see you took on a challenge to work on your own and hearing that your boss did not feel you could do it was demotivating, and hurtful to you. Sadly leaders often forget that instead of just reacting, they took the tme to talk with the person, talk though concerns they may have found a better way to navigate this in a way where you build your confidence, you develop your skills, they have anther employee that wants to do great work! Conversations matter!

    People quit, then all the work piles up on the people that dont quit, so then it makes them quit because its too much work and the managers get stressed due to the fact they have deadlines. So then people feel like they're walking on eggshells and then they quit so by the time they hire a new person, the new person catches onto how negative and toxic the workplace is so then they're like, "no this place isn't really for me". Bad to no communication between workers, everyone finishing up jobs before the others can finish (electricians not installing wiring, but then drywall guys come and put walls up) no deadlines to get the project done, everyone running around doing their own thing, playing video games on their phones, clash of clans to be exact, talking to friends and family members and having a good ole' hour long phone chat about "what are we going to do this weekend, who's bringing the beer?" 😆
