re: What happened at your work which caused multiple people to all quit at once?

Shouldn't make any changes until you've been in that role for at least 6 months -- or been steeped in the department for a long time and know where all the bodies are buried.

I agree with this.

Last boss was too chill & lax but new boss over-compensated and was a paranoid dictator. 24 out of 75 quit after a year. Most of them top-notch.

The dictator hired a bunch of meek, barely-competent replacements and encouraged them to spy for him.

Nightmare job.

Not necessarily.


You shouldn't make changes until you've had enough time to observe how things are done and who your employees are and how they work.

And then you only make changes that would actually make the job better and easier for your employees. You don't make changes just to make changes so you can impress your boss.


Remember: your first responsibility isn't to your boss, it's to your employees. Good managers don't consider themselves to be in charge of the employees, they consider themselves to be responsible for the employees.

Baton Rouge. But the company owns places in Baton Rouge and NOLA.

I'm not going to throw the name out there on this forum because I don't feel like having to deal with the owners shite if they happen to see this thread.


If they see my previous post they will know who I'm talking about and who I am. That's probably enough to get some shite coming my way.

They likely would see it.

My first job after college was a manager for medical billing. It was family owned, very casual and everyone got along well for the most part. The owner would give me his credit card and tell me to take out my team for lunch. They had guys that would grill for us once a month. If a patient couldn't pay a bill, screw it, write it off.

They got bought out after over 30 years in business. The VP was let go after a week. We had to bill and collect everything. It no longer became a fun place to work. Employees of 20+ years were quitting back to back. I was there for a year and a half and bounced.

SVP of operations pretty much got stripped of their duties and placed as the VP of my dept.

About 6 months the largest privately owned firm in my industry was bought out and their advisors chose not to go to the purchasing firm and we’re recruiting an absolute shite ton of them. We’re also getting much more aggressive recruiting advisors.

We went from 32 people in the dept to over 200 very quickly.

shite has gotten real and folks can barely handle it. This VP also cleaned house and hired a shite ton of managers that at this point are clearly just here to do this guy’s bidding. And he’s a fricking retard.

The talent we had has left the dept. It’s been unbelievable to see how obvious this has all been while also being allowed to happen.

I’m in a very contentious salary dispute and will be leaving if they don’t make it happen(they’re idiots and have gotten us in position where I’m genuinely not replaceable). I’ve enjoyed destroying this incompetent group of people. I cannot believe people are this stupid.

A shitty manager.

was a senior manager in large corporation that got bought. Memory is pretty much about the knives that came out as peeps wanting to stay and wanting to leave got sorted out
