Top-Ten Reasons Why People Quit Their Jobs

Amitai Givertz — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:00:54 +0000

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.

LinkedIn and other networking sites are well understood as excellent sources of leads. What is less understood is how to leverage the power of LinkedIn for establishing contact with high-value, high-probability targets.

This session is not for the fainthearted. It is intense and covers a lot of ground:

How to build a network that gives you immediate access to millions of contacts
How to see contacts hidden from your network and how to build your own “working profiles”
How to get the inside track on “trusted referrals” to get introduced to “VITO”
How to utilize a number of online tools and resources to turbo-charge your LinkedIn experience

The session’s recurring theme is how to gather competitive intelligence and personal data to gain access, trust and an audience with “prequalified” prospects.
