3 Early Warning Signs an Employee Might Quit - and What to Do About It

[@njjj3338]

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!

[@beyondthankyou]

Your right! I made this video to support leaders, but most of the people watching are those who are being neglected

[@davidho2977]

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.

[@beyondthankyou]

@@davidho2977 People prioritize profit over their people and many times if backfires. People dont walk out/ strike/ or unionize when they feel valued and taken care of by their employers.

I am a Lead Engineer but with a Senior salary, I was refused to receive a raise now I am living and they are saying I am not loyal person and not reliable.

[@real3dstuff]

​@ingeniero1214 They are not loyal to you either. I've been loyal to my company for over 5 years and I got nothing in return. I will be leaving soon. Be loyal to yourself and your wallet!

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.

[@prettyshortshorts]

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. Yes, I deliberately used two words separately - managers and People.

[@beyondthankyou]

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.

[@markmccormack1796]

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.

[@beyondthankyou]

I am sorry to hear about your experience Mark. Few things are worse than feeling like no one values your idea, especially when they would probably make a huge difference for the Hospital. There are great Hospitals Leaders out there who care, who listen, and who want to provide the best for the people and patients they serve. I have worked with many of them. I hope you find one or, better yet, become one of them!

[@jjc4577]

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.

[@markmccormack1796]

I would agree, especially considering my last supervisor. He was a politician first, supervisor second. @@jjc4577

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.

[@TheKeKe313]

I actually am in management and I don't share ideas for the same reason. I'm used to being one of, if not the absolute youngest person on the management team...

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. When his vacation was over, he went to the company headquarters and turned in his resignation/retirement. Headquarters informed our manager that he had quit/retired.

[@mickhick619]

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.

[@dietergoldschmitt9651]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes! We want people to move to better options!

We did that with her, she didn't want to know. She Actually said in the meeting, she didn't want to hear anymore of these statements or questions. I went to her boss. He said he would talk to her. He didn't. Word got around. Everyone wanted to quit. I left 1st.

[@lupaswolfshead9971]

also if its not specifically stated in your contract and i dont mean one of those vaguelly worded bs things about filling in roles as needed thats not binding get them to put it in writing that youll get financially compensated for it otherwise tell them politely where to stick it.

[@blackmewtwo3569]

To all men if you ever feel like you’re being harassed don’t go to HR go to the law it sounds messed up to do but this is a problem in our society and people are so quick to throw it under the rug as if it’s genuinely ok for a women to behave like a predator because if the roles were reversed that man will go to jail. male harassment is real!

[@beyondthankyou]

Thanks for sharing. No one should experience harassment I have see it in ever direction.

[@GenX-Memories]

One of my reports has taken 25+ sick days in the last six months. No one knows what to say. HR is stonewalling us and won't help us understand the situation. I believe he's prepping to leave, but surprisingly, no one else thinks this.

[@beyondthankyou]

What have you found when you check in with the person? What do they say? Sometimes people are going through things in their personal life (Family/Health/Parents) all we can do is ask?

[@CJandEllie]

I work at Macy's. No raises, heavy turnover, understaffed, zero appreciation, overworked, and micromanaged. My managers are the worst. I have never been more unhappy. Looking elsewhere. Oh, and I'm the only FT person in my dept.

[@beyondthankyou]

I am sorry to hear that. I was at a store the other day and could not find anyone to help. Can only imagine how much falls on your shoulders. I wonder if the stores understand that if they had better service more people may shop there

[@TamraHarmon]

I've been scheduled zero hours for the past month and I'm on disability and 64 years old

[@beyondthankyou]

Sorry to hear that!

[@southerntiger3107]

The jobs I had in the past had a high turnover rate. Companies don't really care of you leave, you'll be replaced very quickly and forgotten about.

[@DeadCat-42]

You should spend time convincing others to leave as well. Even finding them better jobs. You want to make as big an impact as you can otherwise employers will continue to do the abusive often illegal things that made me quit.

[@MGTOWGuy]

Companies need to unionize. I've been at the same plant for 19 1/4 years, with a pension, now they're hiring non-pensioners from out-of-state, and non-pensioners right out of high school, to do the easier jobs that I should have gotten (I've put in my time!)

[@istvantoth7431]

This video really makes me wonder that who's at fault of ""Quiet quitting".. Is it really the Employee... or the Employer who cannot give less F about these signs you listed?

[@beyondthankyou]

I don't think you are far off. Yes people are burnt out after three very tough years. I do see many employee loose hope when organizations continually treat them so poorly they stop caring...

[@abvincent12]

Once they’ve begun disengaging it’s over. They disengaged for a reason, a conversation after the fact will do nothing to change their feelings. Learn from it.

[@beyondthankyou]

It really depends on wha that’s happened. Just last month I had a client with a person who was disengaging - they went and spoke with the person who was just board with the projects they were working on and saw no future for themselves. They had a conversation, asked what the person wanted to be doing, created some new opportunities and the person is back onboard

[@jon6309]

I feel like in this day of age it’s unrealistic for managers to assume we will stick it out forever especially with wage stagnation when it’s much more lucrative for employees to switch jobs every couple of years!

[@beyondthankyou]

It is funny you have said that…I have had two recruiters tell me the same things this week. Why would I stay for a 4% increase when I can get 10% next door and a signing bonus. Companies need to create more of an incentive to stay

[@jon6309]

@@beyondthankyouI’m currently experiencing wage compression. I’ve been with my company for almost 8 years. I started off making only $15 an hour and from there I would only get 3% raises year after year. Covid definitely postponed my plans for leaving with remote work making it more comfortable. I was able to get an internal job transfer with a starting pay of $45,000 which was around a 20% increase from my previous department. Almost 3 years has passed and it looks like the job market has made huge adjustments in their salaries. I saw a posting of the same job from my previous department and they updated the starting salary to $44,000 which is not much of a difference than what I make at my current job despite almost having 8 years of relevant experience. I’m kind of itching to look for a new job at this point but trying to be very strategic about it. I’m very comfortable at my current job so it will make it easier for me to be choosy about my next employer. Lesson learned for me is to politely decline low ball offers!

[@lupaswolfshead9971]

i really dont understand Americans if the company you work for doesnt have to give you notice when they lay you off why the hell are you giving them notice for quitting. Its not to your benefit screw them.

[@karlmarcs31]

I'd rather just quit and get a 2 week vacation because my last job gave a shot amount of pto(9 days) that was all used for sick, vacation, and holiday.

[@RUM123]

Cracks me up hearing these body language indicators butchered by corporate trainers with a BS in psychology or a minor in it. Everyone is wrong and you read too much into it. Without proper training in that area, you're causing more harm than good. Nothing towards the guy posting the video, but every dummy who's told him that fairy tale was wrong. Next thing is, I'm not family, I'm not in the "team", this talk is just smoke and i just want to come in, pull my weight and go home. I don't want to meet for drinks, I don't want to talk on the phone or text, my time is my time. Idon't need friends, i have a few, a wife and four dogs, you're pretty low in my pecking order. You pay for a slice of my day, and that's all you get. You forget to tell me something? That's on you, I'm off the clock when I'm out of the building.

[@beyondthankyou]

I couldn’t agree more that active listening and body language workshops are often horrible. As I share the in the video people are taught arms cross means closed off, or looking down to the left means they are lying.. when this is wrong more than it is right. People do read to much into these things with out taking the time to follow up, have conversations, and understand what really is going on for people

Rock and roll almost to death and expect sensr of humor, funny af! Stop sharing ideas, not to be robbed, no justice, no credit or credit goes to sb else Stop showing up - its healthy to distance yourself from toxic environment, why otherwise are ppl would do it? Still suprised? Have you mr menager looked in the mirror or understood something?

[@beyondthankyou]

Qwerty, I am not surprised at all that people do these things! The funny thing is I created this video to help leaders wake up and notice when employees feel the way you do. No one should be worked to death, not given credit, and should be able to disconnect from work. Sadly most leaders wait until some one has "had enough" and pissed off an resigned before they open their eyes. I am sorry you work for some one who does not treat you well

Love getting a job being told there is OT opportunities but is not mandatory worked for 2 and a half years only had to work 40 hours a week more If I chose too. Now since my pms are pussys and couldn't tell a client we can't push a deadline up 3 months we won't make it now they expect me to work 6 days a week 58 hours mandatory told me that I can't have Saturdays off to take care of my mother who can't be alone and I'm power of authority they don't care. I have found a new job just recently tried to talk to my manager to see if they would work with me or I'm gone they didn't want to give me the time of day to meet with me so I'm not giving them notice of my 2 weeks only HR fuck them.

[@warrenlewis3977]

@@beyondthankyou I understand the point of the video and maybe I shouldn't have been so judgemental. However if right about people wanting to do their jobs and be left alone. That point alone the entire problem. Most leaders don't have leadership qualities or the "stuff". The bulk of the qualities you need to be effective as a leader you can't teach or coach.

[@beyondthankyou]

@@warrenlewis3977 I get it. Most leaders don't have the "stuff" and sadly do more damage than good. The hard part is not ever person wants the same from their leader. Some want to be left alone and others, want their leaders to know way to much about their personal lives. And those desires change over time. IF, people want to learn, to get better, then they can over time....but it takes a lot of work...and most don't.

I have also come to my boss with concerns and solutions to no avail. We just keep getting work piled on us, unrealistic expectations, and no “thank you” for what you guys do. I’m so over it. I absolutely HATE my job. 😢

[@wildbill7267]

Troll

[@TacoMexxx]

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?" 😆 Life has become one big joke after covid, it seems. People just gave up on everything lol
