This is fantastic information. Thank you!!

Awesome!

100% true MOST exploiters DO NOT CARE - ONLY want arse kissing

Stop favoring certain ppl

When your bosses talk about you being not ready to move up because of your attendance but then you see a coworker of yours being moved up even though they know that their attendance is terrible then yours I mean calling out sick once and your the bad guy but a coworker who doesn’t no show no call or is an hour late you’re gonna move them up

Nothing worse than when a co-workers half-arsed effort and pissy attitude is met with praise, when you've been slaving away all day unnoticed. Really does feel like a physical kick in the guts.

When bosses don't listen to your safety concerns when you tell them the same thing over and over again and do not take initiative to correct the problem.

How about paying people properly

Nothing evokes a silent rage within me like micro managing and treating me like a robot lol

Good information as I am trying to reduce property damages that occur at work.

A problem Im seeing is that workers dont trust their company not to use their feedback against them. Instead of taking feedback constructively, companies can instead use it to gauge "flight risks" and act accordingly.

I used to work in Post Harvest Facilities. (Packhouses, as they're known where I live). It was not unusual for me to be working my arse off all Day everyday six days a week, while other, more capable guys, (I'm a little fella and first to admit I'm never the most phyically capable, but i did more work than typically any other two workers), only to have the Boss/Supervisor decide to force me out because I was obviously inferior. I'm now retired due to disablity, but even if I could, I would never subject myself to that again, it's not worth it.

You cannot win. Most people cannot just quit their jobs. Jobs are not really in abundance and most people have kids and other family responsibilities; they can’t just hand in their notice. And the abusive boss still gives written and unwritten references.

Stupid bosses- Do NOT care about people. Do NOT train them and don’t otherwise create conditions for them to do their best. Do NOT give correct feedback in a correct way, with the right intention. We’re just payroll numbers. Easily (though costly) discarded. Undervalued and having misused (or downright stifled) potential. A boss should have a vision about the whole structure and processes- boundaries. Within these boundaries that should be clear for everyone, let people achieve what they must as they want- what suits their skills and interest. Some will be creative, others will stick to one path; both are ok, encourage both. Does an employee go through difficult personal times? Give them a breather even without their knowledge as to not make them feel bad about it. Is an employee ambitious? Perfect, give him/her a doable challenge. Try to do what you say you would. Try to be your best and lead by example. Erase from your vocabulary and even your mind the word ‘leadership’, you’re just a colleague with a hell of a responsibility. But, most importantly, care about them. If you care enough, you’ll find ways of improving yourself, correcting your mistakes. Do that. Maybe, despite your efforts, you still won’t be good enough, in which case let somebody else do it, and look for another (type of) job where you can be your best. What’s the point of insisting? It’s damaging the people, the organisation, and you because you could do something else better which would give you more satisfaction. I am a fool, I know, but this is how I think.

1:26 Isn’t that the plan? Replace humans with robots. It is.

Super practical, thank you!

He is spot on. If you're an employer - here's how you get the edge on your competitors.

If you have not read his book Employalty, I highly recommend it. I work in the field of workforce development, and this is the best explanation of what is really going on - and why, it's not new - I've ever come across.

I'm so happy I found this. Thank you!

I've been watching some behind the scenes stuff from the making of the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy and I have to say that Peter Jackson looked like a great boss. He seemed to be good at bringing out the best in people, he accommodated their individual differences and seemed to understand their personal struggles, and he encouraged productive working relationships. I was very impressed.

Lets talk about how corporate and HR demoralize bosses. HR and Corporate have eliminated handbooks, so there are no longer any real rules. No attendance, No accountability, No discipline. Corporate/HR have reduced producrivity and increased stress on good employees. This results in decresed profut. Why would corporations agree ro liberal policies ? I dont have the answer to this simple question

I'm at a law firm. The only people who matter are the lawyers. The rest of us are warm bodies.

Some people say "that's not my job" with so much attitude, it seems they are looking to get fired.

Right on the money!

My boss speaks in a stern voice. I hate that. Why can't she speak normal when asking me to do something or admonish me with a civilized tone?

I try to address my concerns of being understaffed in key hours of the day but I feel I largely go unheard.

A boss shows their character the most when you leave.

One thing to consider as a cautionary note is ChatGPT is sort of an open source learning model that learns via the information and interactions put into it. So in theory if discussing confidential matters or data ChatGPT could pull that into it's "brain". So I'd say if the company does not have a license to some proprietary application that is "fenced" off maybe use a touch of caution. Otherwise I totally agree!

Such great help.

Lies , lies and more lies........

This is Sooooooo Spot On... and nowhere is the "Open Door Myth" better utilized than at AMAZON. What's more... in warehouses there are no Doors... just empty st😅anding tables. Is there an office?? Who knew! SOLID GOLD JOE!!

I took a position managing a small machine shop of 30 employees. At my interview, the owners son, told me there were definitely some issues interrupting production. In a very short time i identified 2 troublesome employees that made it clear to me they needed to go. As I went down the disciplinary road with them preparing to exit them, I was told to “ back off” because the owner didn’t want to pay out unemployment. I quit a few weeks later, I was told those employees are still there.

very useful to me, thanks for sharing

Your videos are excellent

AAAAHHHH! I was wondering why I was getting frustrated at work. THANK YOU! Now I know! Thank you so much! I just was not allowed to think for myself at work, andultimately it made the job just utterly stiffling and not fun!

And my personal favorite they have you train someone and expect you to do all your duties then give the hours and pay you were looking for to them

Unfortunately in the unionized environment my profession must work within … there is NO respite from …………………….. “ Bad bosses “.🙏🏽

Makes sense 200% but I consider it wishful thinking.... and to make things worst, I'm a teacher, just imagine.....

The worst thing I’ve experienced is bosses who don’t put the work into training. These are the kind of people who want you to learn everything in five minutes and if you don’t, then they’ll just never give you a chance to prove them wrong. And of course there’s always backfires because sooner or later they need you to do a job that they haven’t properly trained you to do.

In my experience, in many companies, the least competent and most damaging employee is the CEO. They’re detached from reality, bleed resources (in particular massive salaries) that should be going to employees, and make decisions based on short-term profitability than devastates long-term morality (which ends up destroying long-term profitability). They also have a complete lack of any sense or morality or loyalty to the people that really make the company work. Most companies would run far more effectively if they canned the CEO and picked any smart, capable, high performing frontline employee to run the business.

Your suggestion of "no pain no gain" sounds like top down dictatorial management to me. Your example of an employee that is chronically late could be easily solved if you, the manager, simply allowed her to come in later and work later. Your approach is to first of all threaten her with possible consequences and then go ahead with those consequences if she fails to conform. Companies that are run like High School and employ strategies like you are proposing are mediocre at best. If you, as manager, are actually trying to get the best performance from your employee then you should adapt and change your own attitude rather than resorting to threats as your first plan of action. Perhaps you should look in the mirror and realize you are simply another human, you are not superior to the employees that report to you. You just drank more of the Kool Aid that has brainwashed you into your corporate culture. Is there a reason that everyone in your org needs to show up at the same time? I might be an outlier in terms of what I do for my employers, but this idiotic high school approach of everyone showing up at the same time is nonsense . Unless you are a business open to the public selling "widgets", most employees don't need to be in the same place at the same time, and in fcat, the company would benefit greatly if they trusted their employees to do their work when and how they chose rather than some dictatorship like you are describing.

"Understand the clash of core values." TY for the tip. I am trying to repair the damage in trust between a large group of community leaders and our local elected officials. I'm bridging the communication gap between the two groups, but I can't play this role forever. I need to find a way to address the conflict. Maybe getting to the root of the core values mismatch will help? 👍👍👍

I earnestly think someone in government should be reading comments here. I believe that will give them a clue on what’s is going on in most organizations. Government should simply initiate an investigation into most work places. HR and management are ripping their workers off. Can anyone imagine being employed in a company for close to 3 years and yet still on minimum wage. How do explain that ?

My boss is notorious for cutting down costs even at the detriment of the work. He is more interested in hiring those who dare not challenge or question his actions and shortcomings. He goes further to render HR completely useless. He thinks and behaves more like a slave master trickishly applying all odd methods to get the job done. He is yet to understand how his rigidity and uptight attitude is chasing away even the best of workers. Now everyone is too afraid to question him and he believes he is doing a good job. One of this days, I guess someone is gonna take it on him and his partner in crime, I mean HR. I can sense the tension.

Truth be told! You are absolutely right!

I just quit my boss. I was her top performer but she kept calling me out. It was time to go. It turns out I was being "quiet fired". She was all in for me leaving.

The biggest problem I've come across is that every training I've had is bad behavior is chalked off and misdiagnosed as "personality differences" almost labeling it that way as a means of avoiding litigation. This is not a personal value problem.

This is great training.

essentially, every single thing you said is rampant in the Marine Corps that's why it fucking sucks

Who the hell wants to still work for someone else any way… fuck the matrix!
