Managers talk about “tricks” to retaining staff.
Give employees new challenges.
Offer a bonus six months after the year end.
Have stock options vest over ten years.
Often it is not that simple.
The position I’m currently filling has
never had a employee in it for more than a year.
When it was advertised internally,
not only were there no internal candidates but
no employees forwarded external candidates.
I’ve been there 3 months and
I’m ready to leave (daily).
The problem?
The very emotional manager.
And this burning your bridges complaint
won’t show up on any exit interview
or by “asking the temp.”
Assume it is you
before looking to outside fixes.
So true. I can’t tell you how many things (constructive criticisms) are left unsaid in my work enviroment simply for knowing there would be retaliation – and offense taken.
