And they always complain about stuff like that, even when they aren’t playing games!
I think you see where this is going :)
It's rarely so easy when times get lean, but everyone has a different experience for sure!
A great many people say they’ll leave ‘any day now’, or ‘after my next paycheck’ - but then somehow never do.
The point is, those environments, those cultures don't capture and retain top talent. Again, those who can...do (i.e., leave).
re: "Everybody leave..." Come on. You've got to do better than this. This isn't Reddit.
And I’m going to have to quote Sturgeon’s law here. “90% of everything is crap”.
If 90% of employers are crap, (or 90% of jobs in an industry?), there is going to be a lot of competition for the 10% that aren’t with the crap employers or with the crap jobs. In conditions like we have today, many of the top 10% will even relax their standards (sliding closer to crap), since they just need to beat their competition not be perfect.
All they need to do to outrun the bear is run faster than the next guy, not be the fastest in the world.
So not everyone is going to get one of those nice ones, pretty much by definition no?
I wish you luck with finding one, and making the move if your current employer sucks.
Many won’t, for valid reasons. And employers are counting on that. For valid reasons (even if we all hate it).
That is my observation.
Of course few, if any of these execs will admit they got it wrong. That the root of the problem was their heavy-handed mandates and how they compromised the brand in the (employment) market.
