NPR: In a hot labor market, some employees are ghosting on bad bosses
Two things stand out:
- Good for the lifeguard who bailed after getting screwed over. Hopefully the weasels
who screwed him over will start to look at what they're paying vs what they lost
and reconsider their hiring practices. If an employee has to come back and ask for
a raise (especially in light of other people trying to hire them away), it means that
the employer is not putting the effort in to manage the relationship.
- Several of the examples here involve abusive scary situations, yet somehow the
employees who leave think that this will reflect badly on the employee, and not the
employer. This sort of institutionalized abuse is bullshit and we should call it out.
