at the company moral is so low that people are just sitting on jobs because nobody wants to call the worthless manager for more work. every one thinks that the company doesnt care about them. management makes it seem like we are replaceable. when an experienced person quit the act like the care that the employee is unhappy, but it came down to the fact that this person produced big numbers. his leaving would cause a big dip in there bottom line.
so those that have employees do you care about them?
are the happy(ish) at work?
do you care if the are happy(ish) at work?
do you have a system in place that allow for the employee to address issues anonymously.
how do you show you employees that you appreciate their hard work.
Do your employees feel like you listen to what they have to say?
Do you run a empoyee centric company?
Yeah, Dave Ramsey talks about this in EntreLeadership. Employees want a paycheck yes, but what they really really want to know is that they’re doing something that MATTERS.
But if the boss doesn’t care about you, you don’t care about your job, and then you’ll start to lose customers.
that is happening to my employer all the old guys tell me all the time “you see that building, we use to do it; but building manager does not like the bosses.”
Hey, back in the day if you could just get paid for doing nothing, would you have busted tail for a boss that didn’t care? Why not milk it because you’ll be looking for another job eventually anyway…
sitting on job means to take longer on job we are paid hourly. but manager is an a hole and will send us to the other side of town when their is an hour left for the day. by the time we get there and unload its time to go. also they give us unrealistic time or $ amount to finish job. they made a mistake and put real price on the list of work, so we know they are making a big profit margin on all the jobs.
i understand your concern and that the boss may not appreciate the labor however, anyone who has to make payroll will think differently than the hourly employee. This is a slippery slope of tension that will build until explosion. I too recommend entreleadership by dave ramsey.
Yeah. I have a great idea…
I should start my own company.
And when [B]my[/B] crew sits down, literally, and rips me off for ‘hours’ -I’ll make sure I ‘reward’ them.
Because I remember back what it was like, to rip off my boss, because he said I was replaceable.
With a balanced scale, it’s obvious that the one complaining how long a job takes
is obviously in the wrong, when you look at it from the one who’s not working’s point of view.
