This is me right now too - to laid off on Wed after 10 years and I just can’t stop thinking about it in my head and the negative thoughts. I haven’t slept much at all for the last 3 nights, last night I got up at 2am and didn’t go back to sleep. I’m sooo down right now as well 😢
Thanks for your vedio. I am in the redundant process. I just wonder if garden leave is an option or not. My employer expects me to work during 3month notice period, but I don't want to. I was also suggested to employer a solicitor, but I don't want so complex,should I must select a solicitor, or just an option. EMployer wants to pay 400 pound for solicitor,but I am not sure the cost to employ a solicitor. Could you give me an advice for my question s above. Many thanks.
I like how i have an interview and not a single person read my resume. Why in the f do i get experience if it doesnt matter to the people that are making the choice
Ha, Ha, Ha, Stop! You're making my sides hurt!!!! You think any employer is going to care why their star employee quit? Ha, Ha, Ha... You're too much. They will spin it that the employee was the problem and go on as usual. What planet are you on where you think the employer will change? 😂😂😂😂
I love this - I'm not a people manager, don't want to be, but if I WAS, my philosophy would be exactly the same "my role is to make you too good to be here"
6:21 Before when it comes to selecting people for officer training, the selection panel use to look at what school did you go to eg Eton, Harrow etc. Now the officer training selection panel would look at if you are/ were a captain of a football/ rugby team, from which they would see if you got good communication and motivation skills. Military selection boards realise the people are not motivated by a leader whose got a first class honours degree in English Literature or Classical History Studies.
From my experience, face to face interviews NEVERstsrt in time You are expected to arrive 15-20 minutes before the set interview time. However you often find tind that you would wait in the reception area 15- 20 AFTER the set time before someone meet up with you. Even then they may not selected an interview room plus they nay have to wait fir the rest of the interview team to arrive. That would often take 30 minutes the set agreed time of the interview. You have to show you have the ability to "plan ahead" but they themselves "do practice what they preach".
Never had regular 1:1 meetings with a boss. They are always one-off things to discuss something, and usually an email, phone call, or passing in the hall. The only "official" meetings I've had like this were the annual reviews where I found out how small my raise would be that year.
That's not uncommon but is a big red flag that you've not had very good bosses. I consider the 121 meeting to be essential for both manager and employee.
There is also the issue of the vacuum at the top = we've all worked with leaders who were unqualified for their roles and had simply moved through the company getting promoted but never quite achieved the skills of leadership. It drives out the qualified and talented middle management layer. In my experience its the top leadership failing has made most of my colleagues leave their otherwise great jobs!
Just quit my toxic company that was not promoting me as a team lead even though I was demonstrating all the characteristics as an SME. The first company i interviewed grabbed me as a Team Lead. Excited about the new official role. And great video btw!! Very detailed.
I worked for a company for 28 years - was one of if not the most dependable employees they had, had a perfect safety record, and did my job well. The best jobs kept being given to the new employees, the excuse given - "we really need them and they might quite" the few times I put in to use vacation days in advance the WAY I WAS SUPPOSE TO - almost every time got called in "such and such had an emergency and HAD to be off we need you to come in" because of my years of experience I was one of the highest paid and was told "No one can have over time" come to find out and it wasn't hard to catch them in the lie, they were giving the new employees over time. I finally had enough and put in my papers and retired. They can't keep anyone on my job now and are short about 8 employees. They called asking me to come back as a full time sub. there is no way I am going back - 28 years and no appreciation why should I bail them out now.
Under valued ,took for granted expectations of said person will always be there lack of comunication lets face it talking is a basic fundemental of working in a company The ist is not exhaustive sometimes a employee has given so much for so long but got little back in return he/she remains in the background to the hierarchy because they are good at what they are not checked in by the ones above I know a few.
@@ProductivityACE My managers are finding out the hard way just how much work I was doing. I was going to leave anyways, due to completing my 2 year accounting certificate and the pandemic being over, but I had considered just cutting back on my hours to allow for a more orderly transition while I started my own business. But, they were too cheap to pay me the money that everybody else managing a department got, and to pay the bonus that everybody else leading a department got, and went with the lame, well you didn't tell us or negotiate that, while ignoring the reality that they were nowhere to be found for months. And did a quiet behind the scenes demotion to boot. The store manager was already being written up for failure to address the issues in the department, so I can only hope that she'll learn a lesson from all this about the fact that just because you can do something, does not mean that you should. And just because you're the boss, doesn't mean that you're the one that has the power. I could be a lot more spiteful in all of this, but I'm focusing on moving upwards without the millstone around my neck. Personally, I learned a lot about how to manage from all of that, and I'm on to bigger and better things, but it cost the store a lot of money trying to avoid paying the little bit of extra money to the guy doing nearly all the work. I'm personally optimistic, because I did gain a lot of valuable and useful experience that I'll be able to apply in the future, at the cost of what was probably not that much extra money.
Junior level people always do that they lead themselves, lead their project, lead their Budget, lead their family, unless he/she leads their duties and takes responsibilities, they can't be successful. If you say that leading people is the leadership, Probably That's wrong with many successful leaders and with many company's structure.
In a well-run company, when a top performer leaves, the junior employee who has been managed so that he/she has grown and is ready to fill the position is moved into the position, and other junior employees are moved up, and the new bottom-level opening is filled by HR. In a poorly-run company, where employee growth is not cultivated, HR is tasked with finding someone just like the guy who left, while his workload is haphazardly divided between his supervisor and some of his subordinates.
I've rarely seen that happen though. When I took my principles of management class, succession planning was definitely something that came up and was emphasized, so I doubt very much that it's because there's a lack of awareness out there that it's best for everybody if there is somebody who is in the lop and as prepared as possible to fill the whole when it comes to that. My guess is that some managers are very insecure about having to compete with up and coming talent and choose to not prepare replacements as a sort of job security. Or just a lack of any consideration for the fact that somebody may not be content for the role they've currently got at the current rate of pay . Either way, it's a toxic failure that leads to a lot of other problems.
I've seen this happen when the Team Lead refuses to deal with squabbles between workers that evolve into a nasty feud. In other words the team lead refused to do their job and deal with it properly..toxic leadership.
I quit my job because I hated being the loyal yet pathetic worker. I was always the slow one, the guy who easily messed up and needed someone to guide him (my brain is wired differently). Heck, I remember the time I accidentally set the wedding reception tables with black linens instead of white, due to being so used to setting the former for most other events. My ex-boss was impatiently puzzled by that. That's when she started thinking I couldn't do shifts by myself. And then one day, I overheard her conversation with a colleague about how my coworker Sam and I would manage this one service by ourselves. "They'll be fine. Sam is very smart, strategic, and a great leader, and John...is very willing and diligent." You see that? She talked about how Sam was so brainy and innovative and I was just so good and hardworking. She reflected on his skills and on my choices. She clearly enough didn't think I was capable of anything. So it's a good thing I'm such a good guy who works hard, because that's all I got going for me. And that's why I left the job. A beautiful girl wouldn't want to put on makeup and do her hair if it makes her a dumb blonde. And a good kid wouldn't want to do the right thing all the time if it made them a goodie-two-shoes. Do you guys see my point?
I'm addicted to this content. I recently read a similar book, and I was completely addicted. "The Hidden Empire: Inside the Private Worlds of Elite CEOs" by Adam Skylight
Not always, but certainly sometimes. Many companies don't have the money or ability to reward the top performers enough. Bad managers play a part as well.
@@ProductivityACE Right, and that's one of the reasons why good bosses consider the possible next steps for anybody even remotely important in a department and have some sense of succession planning so that if a key employee does want more money than you can offer, you're not out of luck.
11:31 Wrong. A leader is no more, but no less either, than any of those whom he leads. Simon, you talk about the leader eating last. First of all, a leader makes sure that there’s enough food for everybody and he/ she eats with the others. You don’t want a leader with stomach ulcers and cranky because he/she is hungry. All this (self-)sacrificial ideology is for narcissists.
