More Than 50 Ways to Get Your Employees To Quit

Filed in archive Management on September 21, 2006

In a post with more than 50 Ways a Manager can get Employees to Quit Frank at Dumb Little Man has captured too many of the stupid little management tricks that self absorbed and out of touch managers do everyday and them wonder why people quit. Here are a few from the list that stood out for me, there are so many it was hard to pick!

Assign enough projects with tight deadlines so that your team has no choice but to work a 60 hour week while you only work 30 hours

Hire someone that is very weak to take the place of a veteran and expect the same results from the team.

Constantly underestimate the time it takes to get things done and then penalize employees' bonuses because they didn't hit the goal.

Mandate a new policy without consulting a single person that will have to live with it.

When the kudos are handed out, you should take the credit because you managed the team. Do not give credit to anyone else.

Talk more than you listen. Via Dumb Little Man

If you see yourself reflected in this list there might be hope for you yet, but only of you change and take action to stop being so stupid. You have been warned.
