I've worked with people with this attitude. As bad as it is investing the time and money into training a person like this only to have them leave, it's worse to have them stay. Sometimes you're better off to call it a sunk cost and cut your losses.

That's great, and I empathize with you. I'm dealing with a worker exhibiting

Does the drive through operator really have to give 2 weeks?

Once you put your liberal arts degree to work there, you should let us know.

ChubbyChaser

12/17/14 11:44pm

Don't even have a liberal arts degree. Guess I'm under qualified?

I guess I'm confused. You're upset with them wanting to find a better job?

I'm not upset with him for wanting that.

Hmmmmm, what's the common denominator here?

Yeah... maybe he should do a better job managing his employee

How do you have any clue what my management of that employee looked like?

ChubbyChaser

12/18/14 7:16am

I had no clue... until you wrote a cb post about how you are failing at managing

I lost 1 individual and actually do very well with employee retention. But why

ChubbyChaser

Lol, with your attitude, prepare to lose a lot more, Jack Welch wannabe

So millennials got their training from reading CB....you know....

My HCBW will be writing her doctorate dissertation on retention of millenials

MoveTheChains

Seriously, millennials suck. The cutoff is being born in 1985 or later right?

Did the employee leave for a job in the same industry/ a competitor?

swishh_15

12/18/14 1:50pm

No it was a different industry working for one of my clients.

I tell people to consider how loyal their employer will be to them . . .

I don't demand loyalty from my people because that's not how I operate.

ChubbyChaser

12/18/14 2:02pm

Well, he's on a fast track to nowhere, then.

rare for employees to be given much loyalty at all these days, or so it seems

jonzy

12/18/14 2:07pm

Bingo.

CosmoK

Loyalty is a two-way street

the new economy looks a lot different than the one our parents were part of

blucoug18

So, someone quit working for you and they are to blame

AxelDC

It's funny how easy it is to pick out the millennials on this thread.

ChubbyChaser

12/18/14 4:34pm

Consider me an entitled millennial.

tarzan15

12/18/14 5:07pm

I'm a millennial.

ChubbyChaser

12/18/14 5:14pm

It is a broad brush, but this Video struck a chord with me today. When you do

UbanUte

12/18/14 5:43pm

Even easier to pick out the terrible bosses
