We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

Been in the car business for 50 years. I’ve managed 200 employees. I never had one person quit on me. Because I was fair. I used to hire for success. And I told my employees that I would pay them too much to do too much.
I recently left my last job due to toxic leadership. My boss hired me: the kind of boss who teaches, supports, and entrusted you with the role. THEN some VP comes in and hires his friends who DONT KNOW what they're doing, and I'm told to do everything MANUALLY cause the system is a bad system. Forget the fact that I had made a method where I was doing 4 people's roles worth for 40 hours salary. In he comes, and I'm working 60 to get him a report which he DOESNT READ because he's just saying yes to people and YELLING AT CUSTOMERS!!! God! And they kicked my good boss out!!! Glad I left. Sad that that was the reason
I am fortunate I made decisions that changed my finances for the better (acquired over 1M in 2years) through my financiaI planner. Got my 2nd house in July and hoping to retire nxt yr.
The problem with this show is pbd is never talking from the perspective of the working person. He's really only ever talking about things from the position of a money hungry CEO.
I remember on the Boeing whistleblower video, PBD questioned if the defunct Quality Manager reported directly to the CEO. That showed how much he is aware of big company organizational structures. Being a Middle Manager is actually pretty tough; you have people above you asking for results, you have peers expecting you to cooperate and you have subordinates that expect full support from you. I get your point on only focusing on CEO level management, because most employees quit middle management, not C suit level directives.
@@alanbejarano4940 I just think he brought his viewers in under the guise of a safe space for conservtive viewpoints and you can tell from his comments section that many of the viewership is working middle class. Then he starts talking from te perspective of a waelthy person, it just doesn't fit the audience. Its as if he hasn't read the room. he turns me off qwith the Minnect stuff and all the other money makingthings he does on this channel. Its as if he fleeces his viewers.
3:45 Mentorship? In Corporate America? Have you seen what they spend on Training? Nothing. There is almost no mentoring happening anywhere in the US...
No, it’s very very true. When you have a bad manager, it makes the whole group resent the manager and a lot of good people leave because of bad management. The story on LinkedIn is very very very true.
the term "resilience" is completely irrelevant as most employers will fire you if the business decides. I know plenty of CEO or managers that fired hard working employees. You can have the greatest work ethic and be the best at your job but that means nothing when you work for someone
Agreed. The "People quit on people" rule applies in some cases. But, top performers know that they are their own best advocate and will go where they are most valued regardless of other factors. The top performers are also the first to go when there are signs of trouble.
The literal meaning of "employ" is: to use as a tool. Some folks simply will not, and so cannot, be _used as tools,_ to satisfy the ego and greed of owners.
I've been with the same company for 35 years and I've never asked for a raise. They have moved me along and mentored me from the lowest entry level to a totally different department and eventually supervision. It's a combination of great leaders, managers and willing employees that share a single vision.
2:30 Spoken by a truly silver spooned individual who has lost all touch with what the average American is going thru right now and has been going thru since 2001...
Been in blue collar world for a lil bit and can tell that corporations and nepitism is one of the worst things that can happen to progress,ego based decision making and profit via cutting corners or adding more workload with no extra compensation is a scummy maneuver that a lot of companies do cuz they can get away with it and taking advantage of the tough times on the american ppl! been job hopping forever because the moment they see I can work without being stressed means somehow im not working hard enough and crack the whip yet the guy that doesn't do shit but looks like he is strugglin gets a pass! We all hate corporate america! bean counters ruin companies!
I quit Costco wholesale after 12 years with the company. The management team was so toxic, they completely lost the standard. Nobody was held accountable for their actions. Good hard working employees were not valued. It was building wide and company wide. I had enough of the nonsense. Life is too short to deal with incompetent, gate keeping "managers", many of whom antagonize their employees, rather than provide support.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to value your high performing team members and the ball is often dropped in the unwillingness of CEOs and top management to express it. It is also their role to remove the weeds especially in leadership as power in ill equipped hands results in losing great employees. Longevity and loyalty are not direct correlations to effective leadership. Exceptional leaders cultivate talent and activate their employees’ strength based assets by creatively finding ways for those assets to be applied in any role. This results in employee job fulfillment and satisfaction. It is why it takes literally no extra money for an employee to jump ship but a pretty good increase for them to resign if they feel valued. In defense of middle management, they are often put in these roles without proper training and are the most stretched thin having nothing left to develop their teams. A proper training and mentorship in vitality leadership and positive leadership could mark a significant difference!
There are leaders and there are managers. Some people are both, most people aren't. A significant percentage of people in management roles have absolutely no leadership qualities. Some people who have leadership qualities choose to not be in management roles because they don't want to put up with adult crybabies. Only a small percentage of people in management roles are both good leaders and good managers.
It’s wild to watch almost every podcast PBD bully Adam. He cuts him off and often says “What’s your point?”. He’s become his punching bag. I hope he sees it.
Bad take by Adam he was lost trying to explain a simple point, albeit an incorrect point but he couldn’t even eloquently verbalize what he wanted to say.
The guy on the far left is the bad manager that the article is talking about. There are simply ways to measure this like turnover metrics. Managers are the number 1 reason people quit. CEOs generally are distant and detached from the real practical workings of the business. Its why undercover boss works as a show.
Oh my goodness, I could write a whole book about this topic. Just on how employee sees the graduate decline of motivation in a company and why employees decide to quit. You could literally see , depending on the reason, how the decline on good employees happens.
Yes, I agree that people leave bad managers. Another problem in the marketplace is that managers are afraid to manage their employees because they haven't been properly trained. These managers look to HR to manage their employees for them.
I left 3 jobs before the middle of this year because I saw red flags within management. I read company policies and reported bad behavior but the higher ups protect their "bad" managers because they can force people to work harder and not call in and deny vacations.
I have a very very kind manager.. who is too kind and too worried about pushing anyone! Always prioritizes equity and being liked by everyone over efficiency and merit. It is sooo frustrating trying to make my workplace more efficient so that we work smarter, safer, and more consistently. I am middle management I suppose, as a DON. I will stay for now because I make such a difference in my patients' lives.
There's a book that I read like 10 years ago called: "How to work for an Idiot". That basically explained like 6 types of bosses and one of them being the "Over Friendly One". As far as I remember, the author stated that this kind of boss is the most "dangerous" one, since it will drag to incompetency pretty quickly and get you in trouble every time. He also gives you some tips on how to deal with the type of boss you currently have.
Hourly workers have it good AND BAD. They can work extra and get more money, but if you miss a clock punch, you are Yelled at by the manager for YOUR incompetence. Also, they make people work shifts that start at 6am and then you have to WATCH the salary people leave early before you do
Myself and a couple others in the maintenance department just sealt with this. We fixed the problem by taking the nipple out his mouth and let him show his lack of experience by not bailing him out. It took less than a month. 😂 hes gone. Oh, and the vice president of the company is gone too. Might as well flush all the turds while ya got the plunger and snake out. 😂
It’s over the top with bad management! Especially when you witness the bad managers play with their employees. The right to work needs to be removed. It keeps the bad employees.
If they want to be there, they’ll figure it out? Huh? Bro 99% of people go to work for money not for their health. Guys massively disconnected from reality.
This is very true, but good workers will try to stick it out, but poor leadership strangles productivity and innovation. I had managers/executives that didn’t show up to work and were lazy on creating a good example to people that were dedicated and determined to try to save/steer the company into a successful direction. Meritocracy needs to come back.
I had a manager begging me to come work for them. She told the owner that im the type of worker they needed. The owner said "i don't want to pay him that much though". I thought it was odd, considering he had employees quitting almost daily. It's not just managers but also business owners.
As a people manager, I have a very keen sense of this dynamic. The labor market is very low skilled, entitled and lazy...to be very blunt. As a man who had climbed the ranks from the bottom in a very short time, I'm happy to reward smart, hungry, and self-motivated. individuals. People want maximum pay, maximum PTO, while being tardy, undependable and lacking skill development.
Thank you for covering this! I loved my last job but management stifled career growth and stole ideas. Management also worked from home while subordinates were required to be in office. I got fired and told HR on the way out that the place is filled with apathy and it wasn’t because of me.
Over the last 30 years of me working first in mental health and now the bus industry. I have seen hard working good loyal staff have breakdowns, heart attacks, heath issues or do one mistake and are simply fired. Bottom lines are all that matter, you loyally is only for the top executives on million dollar wages..... let that sink in.
Pat, sounds like your hiring manager is getting kickbacks from head hunters…that is an absurd amount of resumes. If an AI try’s to recruit me, that company gets blocked! If a boss doesn’t have the time to personally contact me, I don’t have talent for them. 🤙🏼
Tell me the Gen Z employees that ever worked from home. Most of us had to work through the pandemic in crappy jobs because we were too early in our careers to have office jobs
I am 69 and retired from workforce after 40 years of working. I made a vow to myself at age 20 that I would never ask for a raise. My performance would speak for itself. And it worked. I received many raises. Once I got a raise because I was the only employee who didn't ask.
I’m just trying to climb up the ladder, I treat my construction career like a game and just want to make it to the highest level. Started as an intern and 5 years later I’m now in management…….People just give up to easy.
At 90 years old I get so knowledge and enjoy this whole presentation. So much. Make me want to be all these meetings. I not sure if all you really know how much value you add to this void. Just LOVE it!
30 years in Human Resources & Mgmt. Worked on site and remote. I work just as hard remotely, if not harder and get more work done and pull longer hours remotely b/c I have access to my work computer 24/7, I'm not commuting or interrupted or having mindless surface conversations when I walk into the company break room to grab coffee or tea.
Ya it's for a paycheck. Do I really care to fill somebody's pockets...no. I want food in my mouth, roof over my head and make sure I can support my family.
i loves my last job. I quit my last job because I was lied to. I was told if I do a year under a management position I would have a large pay increase. Everything was written under a contract with x amount pay increase. 2 years later they still refused to honor their pay increase. Once I got hired at another job then they decided to want give me the pay increase. But to late, I don’t work for employers that lie just to save a few bucks.
People quitting on people is nothing new! Understanding the distinction between management and leadership is crucial. I'm in the C-suite, but when I started as a new manager, I was fortunate to be part of a company that prioritized ongoing management and leadership training. This focus resulted in developing an exceptional high-performance and empowered company culture, a rarity that underscores the impact of effective training, mentorship, and continuous improvement.
I quit on a bad manager in Oct 2023. On a company I loved since 2018 during the culture priority stages. I still wish I can go back if my manager quits. I would like to see Joshua Fluke on your show, it’ll be interesting
I’ve been the best salesman for the last 2 years. My new manager just fired me. I brought them 1M/ year and my customers were happy with my work. Don’t tell me about management.
It's a natural conflict of interest. In many workplaces a manager is paid to squeeze more work out of an employee and improve productivity. That's how they get a raise. They need to justify their high salary by proving their worth, which is highly based upon how much they can squeeze out of employees. An employee usually gets a small raise at the end of the year regardless of performance/productivity in many cases. Naturally, employees will get agitated at management because they know they are being used as tools by that manager who needs them to work harder so they can make more money. The employee sees little, or no financial gain from their improved productivity but the manager does. The system needs to be reworked so it is not naturally conflicting between management and employees. How can you expect good morale when a natural clash like this is built into so many workplaces?
We currently have companies hiring completely incompetent DEI employees and disrespecting their best employees. For this reason we need extreme low unemployment because it will concentrate the best employees with the best employers and the worse with the worse, forcing the worse to change or face extinction
Smh... Life is way too short to spend(at least) a third of It working for an awful person/company. I don't care what you have going on in your life I expect to be treated professionally and with a modicum of respect and dignity. Just as I do the same for those around me. Way too many middle management personnel are just plain awful.
Personally, I just got tired of managers giving me dirty looks for asking for days off to go on vacation. Plus, I wasn’t going to wait in line for 10+ years to be earning $85k which is why I decided to quit and start my own locksmith business

Been in the car business for 50 years. I’ve managed 200 employees. I never had one person quit on me. Because I was fair. I used to hire for success. And I told my employees that I would pay them too much to do too much.
Adam asking for this topic because he can’t ask for a raise and PBD shut him down instantly 😂😂😂😂 love to see it
I recently left my last job due to toxic leadership.
My boss hired me: the kind of boss who teaches, supports, and entrusted you with the role. THEN some VP comes in and hires his friends who DONT KNOW what they're doing, and I'm told to do everything MANUALLY cause the system is a bad system. Forget the fact that I had made a method where I was doing 4 people's roles worth for 40 hours salary. In he comes, and I'm working 60 to get him a report which he DOESNT READ because he's just saying yes to people and YELLING AT CUSTOMERS!!! God! And they kicked my good boss out!!! Glad I left. Sad that that was the reason
Adam makes me feel like quitting
I’ve quit my job because of my manager. Being in sales, mismanagement at the mid-level management costs you money and impacts your career.
I bet it’s pretty hard to work for PBD.
Totally. I get the idea that he wants everyone to feel like it's their company too but the reality is, it is not.
So true! Wealth has no shortcuts, here are ways to acquire it..🔥
I am fortunate I made decisions that changed my finances for the better (acquired over 1M in 2years) through my financiaI planner. Got my 2nd house in July and hoping to retire nxt yr.

Many needs this lnfo. Good stuff
The problem with this show is pbd is never talking from the perspective of the working person. He's really only ever talking about things from the position of a money hungry CEO.
I remember on the Boeing whistleblower video, PBD questioned if the defunct Quality Manager reported directly to the CEO. That showed how much he is aware of big company organizational structures.
Being a Middle Manager is actually pretty tough; you have people above you asking for results, you have peers expecting you to cooperate and you have subordinates that expect full support from you.
I get your point on only focusing on CEO level management, because most employees quit middle management, not C suit level directives.
@@alanbejarano4940 I just think he brought his viewers in under the guise of a safe space for conservtive viewpoints and you can tell from his comments section that many of the viewership is working middle class. Then he starts talking from te perspective of a waelthy person, it just doesn't fit the audience. Its as if he hasn't read the room. he turns me off qwith the Minnect stuff and all the other money makingthings he does on this channel. Its as if he fleeces his viewers.
3:45 Mentorship? In Corporate America? Have you seen what they spend on Training? Nothing.
There is almost no mentoring happening anywhere in the US...
And Retention.... Zero
I completely agree. Mentorship and even basic, fundamental training are almost a thing of the past
No mentorship is probably because middle management is virtually non-existent in CA.
That’s a fact. I think the human race is at its lowest level.
Especially in the USA.
I asked for mentorship and they said yes. That was almost a year ago...
No, it’s very very true. When you have a bad manager, it makes the whole group resent the manager and a lot of good people leave because of bad management. The story on LinkedIn is very very very true.
the term "resilience" is completely irrelevant as most employers will fire you if the business decides. I know plenty of CEO or managers that fired hard working employees. You can have the greatest work ethic and be the best at your job but that means nothing when you work for someone
Is Adam DEI?
Was Adam high during this?? Lol😂
I literally change videos when Adam starts talking. I can’t stand him
People quit people, many companies have bad management. A toxic work environment is not something you should put up with.
Agreed. The "People quit on people" rule applies in some cases. But, top performers know that they are their own best advocate and will go where they are most valued regardless of other factors. The top performers are also the first to go when there are signs of trouble.
You cant survive a bad manager, they will ruin companies, I've seen it for decades.
Adam needs to find a new home.
Who thinks Harris is 10X worse than Biden;.
The literal meaning of "employ" is: to use as a tool.
Some folks simply will not, and so cannot, be _used as tools,_ to satisfy the ego and greed of owners.
Adam, it’s call VALUEtainment. Bring some damn VALUE
Incompetent managers should also be lumped in there. I've encountered that far more than toxic ones.
I've been with the same company for 35 years and I've never asked for a raise. They have moved me along and mentored me from the lowest entry level to a totally different department and eventually supervision. It's a combination of great leaders, managers and willing employees that share a single vision.
Lol.... adam is all over the map!!!!
2:30 Spoken by a truly silver spooned individual who has lost all touch with what the average American is going thru right now and has been going thru since 2001...
Been in blue collar world for a lil bit and can tell that corporations and nepitism is one of the worst things that can happen to progress,ego based decision making and profit via cutting corners or adding more workload with no extra compensation is a scummy maneuver that a lot of companies do cuz they can get away with it and taking advantage of the tough times on the american ppl! been job hopping forever because the moment they see I can work without being stressed means somehow im not working hard enough and crack the whip yet the guy that doesn't do shit but looks like he is strugglin gets a pass! We all hate corporate america! bean counters ruin companies!
I quit Costco wholesale after 12 years with the company. The management team was so toxic, they completely lost the standard. Nobody was held accountable for their actions. Good hard working employees were not valued.
It was building wide and company wide. I had enough of the nonsense.
Life is too short to deal with incompetent, gate keeping "managers", many of whom antagonize their employees, rather than provide support.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to value your high performing team members and the ball is often dropped in the unwillingness of CEOs and top management to express it. It is also their role to remove the weeds especially in leadership as power in ill equipped hands results in losing great employees. Longevity and loyalty are not direct correlations to effective leadership. Exceptional leaders cultivate talent and activate their employees’ strength based assets by creatively finding ways for those assets to be applied in any role. This results in employee job fulfillment and satisfaction. It is why it takes literally no extra money for an employee to jump ship but a pretty good increase for them to resign if they feel valued. In defense of middle management, they are often put in these roles without proper training and are the most stretched thin having nothing left to develop their teams. A proper training and mentorship in vitality leadership and positive leadership could mark a significant difference!
I have left several jobs directly because of my manager. completely unbearable
There are leaders and there are managers. Some people are both, most people aren't. A significant percentage of people in management roles have absolutely no leadership qualities. Some people who have leadership qualities choose to not be in management roles because they don't want to put up with adult crybabies. Only a small percentage of people in management roles are both good leaders and good managers.
It’s wild to watch almost every podcast PBD bully Adam. He cuts him off and often says “What’s your point?”. He’s become his punching bag. I hope he sees it.
Bad take by Adam he was lost trying to explain a simple point, albeit an incorrect point but he couldn’t even eloquently verbalize what he wanted to say.
Pretty ironic ain't it.
Lol! Adam says nothing for 5 minutes every day. We're all tired of his circle talk.
They all Trump grifters. But I understand- gotta keep the lights on.
thank you Linkedin for finding something that we knew from a long time ago
I left two previous jobs due to toxic and/or poor management at many levels from immediate supervisor to director.
I really feel that Adam is a waist of space …
Perspectives change based on if you're the boss or the worker. It really shows.
The guy on the far left is the bad manager that the article is talking about. There are simply ways to measure this like turnover metrics.
Managers are the number 1 reason people quit. CEOs generally are distant and detached from the real practical workings of the business. Its why undercover boss works as a show.
Adam is so wrong.
This is so true.
I've quit higher level jobs several times over bad managers.
Oh my goodness, I could write a whole book about this topic. Just on how employee sees the graduate decline of motivation in a company and why employees decide to quit. You could literally see , depending on the reason, how the decline on good employees happens.
Yes, I agree that people leave bad managers. Another problem in the marketplace is that managers are afraid to manage their employees because they haven't been properly trained. These managers look to HR to manage their employees for them.
I left 3 jobs before the middle of this year because I saw red flags within management. I read company policies and reported bad behavior but the higher ups protect their "bad" managers because they can force people to work harder and not call in and deny vacations.
Adam with his word diarrhea showed me that he is one of those bad managers, PBD take note.
Doesn’t matter what business you’re in, 99% is all about the people.
I have a very very kind manager.. who is too kind and too worried about pushing anyone! Always prioritizes equity and being liked by everyone over efficiency and merit.
It is sooo frustrating trying to make my workplace more efficient so that we work smarter, safer, and more consistently.
I am middle management I suppose, as a DON.
I will stay for now because I make such a difference in my patients' lives.
There's a book that I read like 10 years ago called: "How to work for an Idiot". That basically explained like 6 types of bosses and one of them being the "Over Friendly One".
As far as I remember, the author stated that this kind of boss is the most "dangerous" one, since it will drag to incompetency pretty quickly and get you in trouble every time.
He also gives you some tips on how to deal with the type of boss you currently have.
Hourly workers have it good AND BAD. They can work extra and get more money, but if you miss a clock punch, you are Yelled at by the manager for YOUR incompetence. Also, they make people work shifts that start at 6am and then you have to WATCH the salary people leave early before you do
DEI has turned middle managers at our company to 💩
Myself and a couple others in the maintenance department just sealt with this. We fixed the problem by taking the nipple out his mouth and let him show his lack of experience by not bailing him out. It took less than a month. 😂 hes gone. Oh, and the vice president of the company is gone too. Might as well flush all the turds while ya got the plunger and snake out. 😂
Im way more productive working from home as an accountant. No office distractions.
It’s over the top with bad management! Especially when you witness the bad managers play with their employees. The right to work needs to be removed. It keeps the bad employees.
Just because you negotiate a raise does not mean you don’t want to be there. But some employees are soft and in capable of dealing with hard work
If they want to be there, they’ll figure it out? Huh? Bro 99% of people go to work for money not for their health. Guys massively disconnected from reality.
Adam is clueless.
Hold on if I’m asking for a raise it means I’m looking to be compensated correctly but I would rather not leave. That’s a sign I want to be there
Watching this is like seeing a private meeting between slave owners. Ridiculous
This is very true, but good workers will try to stick it out, but poor leadership strangles productivity and innovation. I had managers/executives that didn’t show up to work and were lazy on creating a good example to people that were dedicated and determined to try to save/steer the company into a successful direction. Meritocracy needs to come back.
I had a manager begging me to come work for them. She told the owner that im the type of worker they needed. The owner said "i don't want to pay him that much though". I thought it was odd, considering he had employees quitting almost daily. It's not just managers but also business owners.
As a people manager, I have a very keen sense of this dynamic.
The labor market is very low skilled, entitled and lazy...to be very blunt.
As a man who had climbed the ranks from the bottom in a very short time, I'm happy to reward smart, hungry, and self-motivated. individuals.
People want maximum pay, maximum PTO, while being tardy, undependable and lacking skill development.
Thank you for covering this! I loved my last job but management stifled career growth and stole ideas. Management also worked from home while subordinates were required to be in office. I got fired and told HR on the way out that the place is filled with apathy and it wasn’t because of me.
Over the last 30 years of me working first in mental health and now the bus industry. I have seen hard working good loyal staff have breakdowns, heart attacks, heath issues or do one mistake and are simply fired. Bottom lines are all that matter, you loyally is only for the top executives on million dollar wages..... let that sink in.
Find a 4 day work week with 3 days off, it helped me,
It takes a lot of stress away and the week goes by quick.
I'm 60 now and it doesn't matter but I wouldn't tolerate a bad manager
Pat, sounds like your hiring manager is getting kickbacks from head hunters…that is an absurd amount of resumes.
If an AI try’s to recruit me, that company gets blocked! If a boss doesn’t have the time to personally contact me, I don’t have talent for them. 🤙🏼
In the gen z world forcing employees back to office is considered bad management.
Tell me the Gen Z employees that ever worked from home. Most of us had to work through the pandemic in crappy jobs because we were too early in our careers to have office jobs
@@WildcatsandBourbon I have no idea what you're babbling about. You do realize there are plenty of low level or entry level office jobs right?
Even the military "just works for a pay check". No one in our military would be there without being paid
I am 69 and retired from workforce after 40 years of working. I made a vow to myself at age 20 that I would never ask for a raise. My performance would speak for itself. And it worked. I received many raises. Once I got a raise because I was the only employee who didn't ask.
I’m just trying to climb up the ladder, I treat my construction career like a game and just want to make it to the highest level. Started as an intern and 5 years later I’m now in management…….People just give up to easy.
At 90 years old I get so knowledge and enjoy this whole presentation. So much. Make me want to be all these meetings.
I not sure if all you really know how much value you add to this void. Just LOVE it!
30 years in Human Resources & Mgmt. Worked on site and remote. I work just as hard remotely, if not harder and get more work done and pull longer hours remotely b/c I have access to my work computer 24/7, I'm not commuting or interrupted or having mindless surface conversations when I walk into the company break room to grab coffee or tea.
Ya it's for a paycheck. Do I really care to fill somebody's pockets...no. I want food in my mouth, roof over my head and make sure I can support my family.
i loves my last job. I quit my last job because I was lied to. I was told if I do a year under a management position I would have a large pay increase. Everything was written under a contract with x amount pay increase. 2 years later they still refused to honor their pay increase. Once I got hired at another job then they decided to want give me the pay increase. But to late, I don’t work for employers that lie just to save a few bucks.
I don't understand why the society has given LinkedIn so much clout
People quitting on people is nothing new! Understanding the distinction between management and leadership is crucial. I'm in the C-suite, but when I started as a new manager, I was fortunate to be part of a company that prioritized ongoing management and leadership training. This focus resulted in developing an exceptional high-performance and empowered company culture, a rarity that underscores the impact of effective training, mentorship, and continuous improvement.
I quit on a bad manager in Oct 2023. On a company I loved since 2018 during the culture priority stages. I still wish I can go back if my manager quits. I would like to see Joshua Fluke on your show, it’ll be interesting
There’s bad. Employees too
I’ve been the best salesman for the last 2 years. My new manager just fired me. I brought them 1M/ year and my customers were happy with my work. Don’t tell me about management.
It's a natural conflict of interest. In many workplaces a manager is paid to squeeze more work out of an employee and improve productivity. That's how they get a raise. They need to justify their high salary by proving their worth, which is highly based upon how much they can squeeze out of employees. An employee usually gets a small raise at the end of the year regardless of performance/productivity in many cases. Naturally, employees will get agitated at management because they know they are being used as tools by that manager who needs them to work harder so they can make more money. The employee sees little, or no financial gain from their improved productivity but the manager does. The system needs to be reworked so it is not naturally conflicting between management and employees. How can you expect good morale when a natural clash like this is built into so many workplaces?
We currently have companies hiring completely incompetent DEI employees and disrespecting their best employees. For this reason we need extreme low unemployment because it will concentrate the best employees with the best employers and the worse with the worse, forcing the worse to change or face extinction
Smh...
Life is way too short to spend(at least) a third of It working for an awful person/company. I don't care what you have going on in your life I expect to be treated professionally and with a modicum of respect and dignity. Just as I do the same for those around me.
Way too many middle management personnel are just plain awful.
Personally, I just got tired of managers giving me dirty looks for asking for days off to go on vacation. Plus, I wasn’t going to wait in line for 10+ years to be earning $85k which is why I decided to quit and start my own locksmith business
