Good people don't quit jobs. They quit:

1. Low Pay:

People work to make money.

When you're not fairly compensated for your work, it's hard to feel motivated or valued.

Top performers know their value in the market.

Good employees should be paid fairly for the work they do.

2. Bad Leadership:

Bad leaders don't listen, don't care, and don't help their team grow.

Bad bosses who are incompetent, unethical, unsupportive or abusive make it impossible to stay motivated and productive.

Good leaders inspire, empower, and develop their team members, creating a positive work environment.

3. Toxic Workplaces:

Nobody wants to work in a place that makes them feel stressed and unhappy.

In toxic workplaces, people are mean, work is unfair, and nobody trusts each other.

This can be due to things like bullying, harassment, or a negative company culture.

4. Micro-Management:

No one likes to feel like they're being watched over constantly.

This can make workers feel like they have no freedom or trust.

When employees feel suffocated by excessive control, they lose motivation.

If you're being micromanaged, it can be difficult to do your job effectively.

Good leaders trust their employees to do their job and make decisions.

5. No Work-Life Balance:

Work is important, but so is having time for yourself and your family.

If you're expected to be available 24/7, it can lead to burnout.

Companies that overwork people with excessive overtime, unrealistic deadlines and no boundaries quickly burn out their best talent.

Good workers will find jobs that let them live, not just grind endlessly.

6. Lack of Opportunities:


Employers should provide opportunities for growth, development, and advancement.

Offering training, promotions, and new challenges keeps employees engaged and motivated.

Companies should invest in their workers’ growth to keep them from leaving.

7. Feeling Undervalued:

Good people quit jobs when they feel undervalued and unappreciated.

People like to know that their hard work is noticed and appreciated.

It's extremely demoralizing when they don't get the recognition and respect they deserve.


Employers must recognize and reward employees' contributions and achievements.

8. Office Politics:

Navigating office politics is exhausting and stressful.

Office politics involve favoritism, unfair treatment, gossip, and hidden agendas.

It's like a game where some people win by making others lose, creating a negative environment.

It's not fair, and it makes work stressful.

Employers must create a culture of transparency, fairness, and respect.

Good people don't quit jobs. They quit:

• Low pay

• Office politics

• Bad leadership

• Toxic workplaces

• Micro-management

• Feeling undervalued

• Lack of opportunities

• Zero work-life balance

Sometimes it’s time to move on. Put yourself first.

👍 2024 will be the year you find your dream job!

♻️ Too many people put up with toxic jobs, please help them by sharing this post!

I was REJECTED for a promotion even though I earned it.

The person hired was a friend of the hiring manager.

When you promote the wrong people, you begin to lose the best people.

I got tired of the toxic workplace and started applying to other companies.

Within one month, I got a much better job.

Three months later, I was asked to come back for the same promotion.

I told them, “No.“

It’s more expensive to recruit, hire, and train new people than to invest in your existing team.

Bad bosses keep people trapped in jobs.

Great bosses create opportunities for you to grow in advance.

Having a good manager is a blessing.

Agree?

People don't quit jobs, they quit bad managers.

A great boss will trust you, respect you, and value your contributions.

Having a good manager is a crucial part of your career, success, and happiness. They don't just pay your salary - they invest in your long-term success as a professional.

4 important qualities of a great manager:

1. Guidance and Support:

A great manager provides guidance and support to help you grow in your job and as a person. They understand that making mistakes is part of the learning process and help you grow from them.

Making mistakes is all part of growing in your career. A great boss gets that.

2. Positive Work Environment:

A great manager creates a positive vibe at work, fostering a culture of support, collaboration, and respect. They understand that a happy and motivated team is crucial to the success of the organization.

A positive work environment can boost your morale, increase your productivity, and make you more satisfied with your job.

Multiple studies have proven that having a positive, supportive work environment reduces stress and boosts job satisfaction.

3. Leadership Training and Development:

Companies with a reputation for good management and positive work culture invest in leadership training and development. These companies understand the importance of having great managers and invest in their growth.

4. Belief in You:

A great manager believes in you and your potential. They see your strengths and help you develop them. They don't just tell you what to do; they show you how to do it.

The importance of a good boss cannot be overstated. A great manager can make all the difference in your career, success, and happiness.

When looking for a job, it's important to look for companies with a reputation for good management and positive work culture. These companies understand the importance of having great managers, and they invest in leadership training and development.

Remember, you deserve a manager who believes in you and your potential. Life is too short to have a terrible, toxic boss.

Company culture is more than free snacks and pizza on Friday.

A strong, positive culture promotes:

1. Work-life balance and personal well-being
2. Collaboration and teamwork across departments
3. Clear communication up, down, and across the org
4. Diversity of thought and an inclusive environment
Psychological safety to take risks and voice opinions

A toxic culture fosters:

1. Fear, stress, and anxiety about making mistakes
2. Excessive overtime, burnout, and high turnover
3. Silos, infighting, and lack of trust between teams
4. Discrimination, harassment, or unethical behavior
5. Poor leadership, micromanagement, and lack of autonomy

The cold, hard facts:

1. Highly engaged teams are 21% more profitable and outperform by 20%
2. 47% of people actively looking to leave cite company culture as the main reason
3. Disengaged employees cost U.S. companies up to $550 billion per year in lost productivity

Company culture is important, and it can greatly affect employees' feelings about their work.

It’s about creating an environment where employees feel valued, satisfied, and happy all week.

The average loyal employee receives a 1-3% rise each year.

The average job hopper receives a 10% to 30% increase in salary every time they change jobs.

Quitting your job isn't disloyal to your boss.

The company you work for is not your family and will never be.

They use the word “family“ to manipulate you.

It’s okay to leave jobs that no longer serve you.

If you have an opportunity to better yourself, don't feel guilty about taking it.

Always prioritize your own well-being.

This is so true.

No job is worth your mental health.

No paycheck is worth your health, happiness, or time with family.

Quitting a job isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of bravery.

Your mental health is more important than any job.

Agree?

Quitting a job isn't a sign of defeat, it's an act of strength.

You deserve a job that allows you to sleep well at night.

Your mental health is more important than any paycheck.

If you're in a toxic workplace, it's ok to leave.

A toxic workplace is more likely to change you, than you are to change it.

Your manager has a greater impact on your mental health than anyone else.

Prioritize your well-being.

Having a good manager is a blessing.

Leadership isn't power, it's about empowering others.

You're not a leader because of your title.

You're a leader because of your actions.

Leadership isn't about commanding; it's about helping your team shine.

What qualities do you think of when you hear the word “leader“?

Dear Managers,

Please add this to your email signature:

“I am emailing at a time convenient to me, and please do not feel obliged to reply to this email outside of your normal working hours.”

Company culture is how people feel.

This simple yet effective statement achieves several goals:

1. It demonstrates respect:

By acknowledging that the recipient should not feel pressured to respond outside of their working hours, you show respect for their time and personal life.

2. It sets an example: Including this message in your email signature is a positive example, encouraging others to prioritize their work-life balance.

3. It communicates empathy:

Recognizing that individuals have different working hours and personal commitments shows empathy and understanding for their unique circumstances.

When you cultivate a culture in which people can thrive,
your teams and company will thrive.

Please feel free to use this and share it.

Stop trying to hire “perfect“ employees.

Hire for attitude, character, work ethic, and willingness to learn.

Some of the best employees I’ve hired had zero experience.

But they were willing to learn, and they were eager to grow.

Recruiters have become obsessed with perfection.

But it’s time to give people a chance.

This is how we stop good talent from going to waste.

Here's why hiring for attitude is so important:

1. Skills change, attitude doesn't:

The tools we use at work are always changing. But a good attitude? That sticks around.

2. Team players make everyone better:

Someone with a great attitude lifts up the whole team.

They make work more fun and help everyone do their best.

3. Problem-solvers are winners:

When you hire people who love to learn, they'll figure out how to fix problems on their own. That's valuable!

4. It's easier to train skills:

You can teach someone how to use a computer program. But it's really hard to teach someone to care about their work.

But how do you find these amazing people? Here are a few tips:

1. Look for passion:

Find people who are genuinely excited about your company and what you do.

They'll be more motivated to learn and grow with you.

2. Assess their attitude:

Ask questions that help you gauge their attitude and work ethic.

Look for people who are positive, proactive, and willing to go the extra mile.

3. Check their character:

Look for people who are honest, reliable, and have a strong sense of integrity.

These are the people you want on your team.

4. Consider their potential:

Don't just look at their current skills and experience.

Think about their potential and how they could grow with your company.

These are the people you want working in your company.

Do you agree?

I've received multiple 6-figure job offers because I was the most prepared for the job interview, not because I was the “smartest.“

Every job interview ends with a Q&A, but many people don't ask questions at the end of interviews.

Here are 7 questions I used to get hired at JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Citi (to help you get more job offers):

1. Can I elaborate on anything else to ensure I’m your top choice?

This question allows you to seal the deal by addressing lingering questions and doubling down on your strengths.

Take this last chance to highlight the critical strengths they need that you offer over the other candidates.

The final impression most directly impacts hiring choices.

2. What doubts do you have about my qualifications?

This allows you to respond to any hesitations and remove roadblocks to a job offer.

This flips the script to have them present any doubts, allowing you to address their concerns.

Listen closely for hints about your experience or skills not matching their requirements.

Remind them of your past successes handling similar challenges.

3. Can you describe a typical day in this role?

This helps you understand the daily responsibilities and expectations.

Look for a clear and detailed description of the tasks and how they align with your skills and interests.

4. What skills and experiences do you hope the ideal candidate has that we haven’t discussed?

This prompts them to call out must-have skills, for which you can make the case that you still check the boxes.

It also may expose areas where you lack “must-have” skills, meaning you’re likely not getting an offer, no matter how strong your credentials are.

Listen closely to the experience they emphasize when creating your pitch.

5. How does this company handle promotions and career advancement?

Growth potential is a major factor in job satisfaction and employee retention.

Knowing the company's approach to promotions and advancement will help you plan your career trajectory.

Look for a company with a transparent process and a clear path for career growth.

The answer here reveals how invested they are in developing staff.

A lack of structure signals high turnover.

6. What key achievements would define success in the first 12 months?

Another angle at surfacing their current challenges and top priorities where you can position yourself as qualified.

It also defines what success looks like.

The more their wins align with your capabilities and interests, the better the fit.

7. What must-have soft skills do you feel contribute to success?

Every workplace has personality and behavior clues that unlock culture fit and influence performance.

This exposes the key ingredients for those who thrive long-term and signals whether you fit.

Mismatches signal poor culture, leading to frustration in the future.

👍 2024 will be the year you get a higher-paying job!

♻️ Too many people struggle with job interviews, please help them by sharing this cheat sheet!

Financial statements aren't hard to understand.

Let me explain them in under 3 minutes:

1. The balance sheet shows what a business owns and owes at any moment.

2. The income statement shows how profitable the company is over time.

3. The cash flow statement shows the actual cash going in and out of the business.

1. The Balance Sheet:

Answers the question, “What does the company have, and what does it owe?“

A balance sheet is a snapshot of a company's financial position at a specific point in time.

It shows:

• what a business owns (assets)
• what it owes (liabilities)
• what belongs to the owners (shareholder equity)

The key thing to know is that a balance sheet follows the simple formula:

Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity

a. Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity:

This makes sense when you think about it - a company has to finance or pay for its assets by taking on debt (liabilities) or getting investments from shareholders (equity).

Analyzing a balance sheet can show you:

• how much debt it has
• how financially stable a company is
• the company's ability to grow and take on more opportunities

2. Income Statements:

It answers the question, “How much money is the company making?“

While a balance sheet shows a company's financial position at a point in time, an income statement shows performance over a period of time.

It summarizes how much money a company brought in (revenue) and how much it spent (expenses) over time.

a. The key parts of an income statement are:

• Revenue - Money earned from sales of products and services

• Expenses - Operating costs like employee salaries, materials, advertising, etc.

• Profit/Loss - Revenue minus expenses gives you your final profit or loss

b. An income statement helps you understand how profitable a company's operations are.

• Are expenses under control? 
• Are sales growing or declining?

These questions can be answered by analyzing trends in the income statement over time.

3. Cash Flow Statements:

It answers the question, “How much money is the company generating, and how is it spending it?“

Cash flow statements show how cash enters and leaves a business through three main activities:

• Operating activities - Cash from day-to-day operations and expenses

• Investing activities - Cash used for investments and asset purchases

• Financing activities - Cash from loans, investors, stock issuances

a. While income statements show profitability, cash flow statements depict liquidity - a company's ability to generate cash and meet financial obligations.

Positive cash flow indicates financial health and flexibility to pursue new projects or investments.

My best career advice:

10 productivity cheat codes everyone should know:

1. Pomodoro Technique:

The Pomodoro Technique involves working in focused 25-minute increments, followed by a 5-minute break.

After 4 cycles, take a longer break of 15-30 minutes.

This technique will help you stay focused and avoid burnout.

2. The “2-Minute Rule“:

If a task can be done in less than 2 minutes, do it immediately.

This helps eliminate small tasks that can quickly add up and overwhelm you.

3. The “5-Second Rule“:

When you feel the urge to procrastinate, count down from 5 and take immediate action.

Count backward 5-4-3-2-1

This helps to overcome the initial resistance to starting a task.

4. The “1-3-5 Rule“:

At the start of each day, identify 1 big thing to accomplish, 3 medium things, and 5 small tasks.

Knock out those priorities first.

5. The “80-20 Rule“:

Focus on the 20% of tasks that will produce 80% of the results.

This helps to prioritize tasks and avoid procrastination.

6. “Eat the Frog“:

Do your biggest, nastiest task first thing in the morning while your willpower is highest.

It's energizing to get the hard stuff out of the way early.

7. The “Not To-Do“ list:

Identify tasks or activities that are not essential or that can be delegated and stop doing them.

This helps to free up time and energy for more important tasks.

8. Break Tasks into Smaller Pieces:

One main reason we procrastinate is that a task seems too big and overwhelming.

To make it more manageable, try breaking it down into smaller, more doable parts.

For example, if you have a big project, break it down into steps like researching, outlining, writing, and editing.

You'll feel less overwhelmed and more motivated to get started.

9. Eliminate multitasking:

Trying to juggle multiple tasks guarantees that your mind will wander.

Singletask with ruthless focus instead.

👍 2024 will be the year you overcome procrastination!

Effective communication is the backbone of leadership.

Being able to talk and write clearly so everyone understands you is key.

Strong communication skills enable you to convey ideas, actively listen, provide thoughtful feedback, and tailor your message to different audiences.

Demonstrate this by participating in meetings, paraphrasing key points, and crafting emails and reports that convey ideas succinctly.

4. Resilience

Resilience is the ability to bounce back from setbacks and maintain a positive attitude in the face of adversity.

Employers value employees who can handle stress, learn from their mistakes, and continue to perform at a high level.
