#1, Overworked because others on the team are not held to account. Half the team slacks off so the work is pushed to those who do the job well. But, we all get paid the same which leads to good people leaving or learning to slack like everyone else until something better comes along.

I am overworked where I am right now and have a different job lined up for me. I can't take the added stress and anxiety anymore and that will be a root awakening for my current coworkers now once I begin my new job soon.

There are only two reasons people quit:

1. Not paid enough.
2. They are sick of their boss.

We worked with passion.we did miracles within short period of time....but they failed to compensate at the same time they paid more to useless guys who does nothing..now we got a plan..if we are able to create something..we are also able to take it out..

Lowballed underpaid, underappreciated, overworked and favoritism.

There are very few jobs out there that are worth the effort. the average company pays nowhere near what's necessary for the cost much less is anything progressive for your future outlook. it is mainly just a matter of taking employment as needed until something better comes along

I’m in my first job out of college. I work in a 4 yr old finance company which is supposed to be highly regulated but those regulations are not taught well to new employees. It’s a hot mess. I stayed bc the ppl are nice but I feel most employees are not being set up for success to stay compliant in our own procedures(we are fine in legalities). Internal controls are not communicated well. To be fair, we are trying to figure it out as a team and it is new to everyone. But still, the problems are not addressed well enough. I obviously don’t have the skills nor experience to make a judgment except on how I feel. & I feel like quitting 😅. There is reward getting through tough times of a new company, but it’s extremely stressful now.

One of my most loyal, hardworking employees just quit. I don't even understand. I'm a banquet manager, and we were about to serve a wedding reception. A student supervisor was letting everyone know the instructions for the night and asked if there were any questions. No one said anything and she said, "okay, cool." Well, one particular worker (let's call him Rick) had a tendency to _not_ get it. He often needs clarification and assistance with certain tasks. This was the night the student supervisor sent him to get something for her, but he couldn't find it, so I had to help him. Well, based on all that, I just wanted to make sure he understood the instructions, so right after the staff split up from hearing them, he went to the counter to get his drink and I followed him and said to him quietly, "Did that make sense, Rick?" According to a letter he left on my desk weeks later, that's why he quit. He felt so patronized and underestimated, he just couldn't work for me anymore. Accused me of implying he was dumb and singling him out. Well, I wouldn't say I "singled him out, " because it's not like I had to ask the other workers if the instructions made sense. They seem pretty competent: you give them a task, even if it's their first time, and they understand and do just fine, without struggling. Rick is...different than that. I think he's overreacting. He mentioned in the letter that he already had doubts about his brain and struggles with school (example, he had to take LOTS of time with assignments), and apparently my question made things worse: now his grades are slipping because he feels he really is dumb, purely based on what I said. But I can't own that. All I did was ask him if he understood the tasks, because this was a very important night and shift. I even spoke to him in private, not in front of the others. And the truth is the truth: he has a hard time understanding information and tasks. I _really_ don't think I said anything wrong. I think he's just overthinking everything and letting it wipe out his pride. I'm sorry about his grades and insecurity, but it's not my fault. A manager is supposed to check on their employees and their capacity (and limits). So seriously, what did I do wrong?
