Top-Ten Reasons Why People Quit Their Jobs
- Management demands that one person do the jobs of two or more people, resulting in longer days and weekend work.
- Management cuts back on administrative help, forcing professional workers to use their time copying, stapling, collating, filing and other clerical duties.
- Management puts a freeze on raises and promotions, when an employee can easily find a job earning 20-30 percent more somewhere else.
- Management doesn’t allow the rank and file to make decisions or allow them pride of ownership.
- Management constantly reorganizes, shuffles people around, and changes direction constantly.
- Management doesn’t have or take the time to clarify goals and decisions.
- Management shows favoritism and gives some workers better offices, trips to conferences, etc.
- Management relocates the offices to another location, forcing employees to quit or double their commute.
- Management promotes someone who lacks training and/or necessary experience to supervisor, alienating staff and driving away good employees.
- Management creates a rigid structure and then allows departments to compete against each other while at the same time preaching teamwork and cooperation.
