They don't pay enough?

Treat you badly?

You go off sick with stress, you get treated like a fool, you think your bosses are actually robots being fed on stainless steel discs and charged up overnight

I have just gained a new post after 4 years with my current employer. I knew it was time to leave because

-There were never any pay rises, not yearly with inflation, not for good performance and new staff were being recruited on more money who performed less well

-No training opportunities as there are in comparable businesses in my sector

-Lost confidence in management, poor decisions, blanket punishing staff due to pockets of poor performance rather than addressing directly with the offending staff

-Never any praise or reward for good performance

-No longer challenged by work

-Feeling stressed due to poor management decisions, not listening to staff on the ground and being in a line management position myself where I was dealing with quite difficult staff that I managed

-Just feeling ready for a new challenge and something new, felt current job was taking over my life and that I never switched off from work and that there were no opportunities to move up the ranks any further within my company due to the head office being in a different locality

... the prospect of not having a job and relying on JSA seems more tempting than just knuckling down and making the best of the (slightly) mundane and humdrum job you've got?

Enjoy your new job anyway, OP.

It lands you in debt?

You end up being ordered about by someone half your age and you realise they haven't got a clue what they're doing. I wouldn't mind if they were good, well-trained people with good people skills.

All the things that used to be considered important by management when you first worked there (and still should be) are now completely ignored by the newer people because they have no clue what they're doing. When things go wrong, they have no skills, background knowledge or initiative to try and work out what to do.

You matter less than an inanimate object.

...the company treats customers so badly, you just don't want to be a part of it anymore.

Actually, that probably WOULD be a fair reason for me...!

Every new rule is something that you just don't agree with (new one this week is if you don't get timesheet in within a day (for one shift the person finishing shift won't actually get home before the shift ends to email it in) then you don't get paid - at all. Which I find truly shocking, but according to acas is perfectly legal as in there words 'they can ask you to walk around in a chicken suit if they want to'

The new staff that come just don't seem to do the job yet it doesn't get pulled up

The ethos of the job has changed (we're support workers but now those above seem content with us doing it for them ie shopping etc rather than taking service users with them and involving them in the process)

No pay rise since end of probation

Not being motivated to be in work as all the changes have made the job worse

All the good staff have left and those that are replacing them just aren't bothered

Yep I am leaving, counting down the working hours at the end of each shift
