The more you read it, the worse this gets.
People leaving your company can either be the best or the worst advocates for your business.
And the choice is entirely yours.
Legitimate reasons someone might have a gap in their CV:
- Travel
- Career Break
- Personal Project
- Trying something new
- Family
- Health
- School
- Just because

No one is a perfect manager and trying to achieve that is never going to work. But aiming to be 10-15% better feels achievable for all of us
How a boss or manager treats an employee when they are leaving the company is one of the best ways to judge their character
This is beyond parody.
Let’s share a bit of positivity today. When has a company or a boss really stood up and supported you?

Never forget that despite all the noise, all the numbers say that flexible working is good for both employees and employers. We are literally arguing about a win-win situation.
130+ years of ‘no one wanting to work’ 🤔
The best way to fix your culture problems?
Stop telling your team what you think they want to hear and actually start listening to them.

People increasing the rent on LA properties.
You are the lowest of the low.
