Ways to Minimize Employee Retention

I severely doubt anyone actually doing any of these things would have the self-awareness required to realize they're doing them and stop doing them.

I still think it was a funny and informative blog post though.

There are a few on there that people may be doing without realizing. For example:

    3. Interrupting people regularly for status updates.
    4. Falling into "doom loop" of rushing software dev.
    6. Changing communication tools regularly.
    10. Being overly stingy with hardware.
    14. Failing to deliver public praise.
    17. Being stingy with information.

Given enough naivete and inexperience, I can see a well-meaning and honest manager failing at some or all of these.

Actually they may, if they only do some items. At least, they can wonder "wait a minute, why doesn't he like that?"
