The Four Big Reasons Why 99% Of People Quit Their Jobs



There’s a million ways to lose your job  — layoffs, company closes, smacking an employee on the butt.

You name it and someone has lost their job over it!

The reality is, though, that most people leave their jobs on their own terms and it has nothing to do with more money or a higher level job.

In fact, there are four (4) main ways people leave their jobs:

Reason No. 1 – Crappy Boss

Almost anyone who has left my company has left because they didn’t like me, or I didn’t like them. Well, to be honest, I probably didn’t like the way they were performing.

If they were performing well, I don’t really care if I like them personally. I’ll take the performance over me liking them!

So, for some I’m a crappy boss, for others I’m not. The key to great leadership is having only a few believe you’re crappy!

Reason No. 2 — Bad Job Fit

We hired you and thought you would be awesome. Yay! But, we messed up by thinking you would fit.

You’re not the right fit. You know it. It doesn’t “feel” right, so you you leave for something that feels better.

In so many of our jobs that we hire for, fit is the most important part of success — fit and showing up every day. It’s Shocking how we can’t figure this out!

Reason No. 3 — Daily Commute

Length of commute is subjective. My friends in Detroit live 10 miles from work and drive an hour on good days to their jobs. They seem completely happy with this commute.

I drive 12 miles and it takes me 20 minutes, and if I get slowed down and it takes me 22 minutes, I’m ready to shoot people!

Some people take a job and think the commute is no big deal, but it is a very big deal for many people. If the length of commute comes up in negotiations, run away from that candidate.

Reason No. 4  – Cultural Fit

I hate conservative, political environments. There’s something about kissing ass all day that makes me not a pleasant person to be around.

So, you need to know who you are and what kinds of cultures you like.

Some of my best friends love ultra-professional conservative cultures and do exceptional working in those cultures.  Everyone has a preference. Find yours. So many people get this wrong and stay in a culture they hate.

These four reasons make up about 99 percent of why people decide to leave a company. People always want you to believe they left for money or a promotion, but all of that can usually be had at their current employer with a little patience and some conversations.

Contact lenses bestow telescopic vision!

Image
Researchers have created contact lenses which, when paired with special spectacles, bestow telescopic vision on their wearers. The lens has a telescopic element that focuses light on to the retina The contact-lens-and-spectacles combination magnifies scene details by 2.8 times. Polarising filters in the spectacles allow wearers to switch between normal and telescopic vision. The telescopic sight system has been developed to help people suffering age-related blindness. Age-related macular degeneration is one of the most common forms of blindness and damages the part of the eye, the macula, that handles fine detail. As this area degenerates, sufferers lose the ability to recognise faces and perform tasks, such as driving and reading, that rely on picking up details. Precise control The contact lens created by the researchers has a central region that lets light through for normal vision. The telescopic element sits in a ring around this central region.

பாம்பு, பூரான், தேள் கடித்தால் என்ன செய்வது?

விஷப்பூச்சிகள் கடித்து விட்டால், இயற்கை வைத்தியத்தின் மூலம் நஞ்சை சரிசெய்து விடலாம். தேள் கொட்டினால் எலுமிச்சைப் பழ விதைகளையும், உப்பையும் கலந்து அரைத்துக் குடித்து விட்டால் தேள் கடி நஞ்சு இறங்கி விடும். கல்லில் சில சொட்டுத் தண்ணீரை தெளித்து அதில் புளியங்கொட்டையைச் சூடு உண்டாகும் படி தேய்த்து, தேள் கடித்த இடத்தில் உடனே வைத்தால் ஒட்டிக் கொள்ளும். நஞ்சு இறங்கியதும் புளியங்கொட்டை விழுந்து விடும். சிறிது நாட்டு வெல்லத் தூளுடன் கொஞ்சம் சுண்ணாம்புச் சேர்த்துச் சிறிதளவு புகையிலையையும் கலந்து நன்றாகப் பிசைந்து தேள் கடித்த இடத்தில் வைத்துக் கட்டினால் நஞ்சு இறங்கி விடும். நட்டுவாய்க்காலி கொட்டினால் கொப்பரைத் தேங்காயை வாயில் போட்டு மென்று தின்றால் உடன் நஞ்சு நீங்கும். பூரான் கடித்தால் பனை வெல்லத்தை (கருப்பட்டி) தின்னத் தடிப்பு, அரிப்பு உடனே மாறும். வெறி நாய் கடித்து விட்டால் நாயுருவியின் வேரும் எலுமிச்சைப் பழத்தின் விதையும் சம பாகமாகச் சேர்த்து எலுமிச்சைச்சாறுவிட்டு அரைத்து வைத்துக்கொண்டு அதில் எலுமிச்சைப் பழம் அளவிற்குக் காலையிலும் மாலையிலும் ஒரு உருண்டை வீதம்

Malaysia Decides

Seven things to know about the Sedition Act From the law’s origins to how it’s used today, here’s our easy guide to Malaysia’s Sedition Act. By Abdul Qayyum Jumadi. 1. The Sedition Act 1948 is a restraining law; it tells you what not to do. Among other things, “seditious” actions can include those that have a tendency to incite hatred towards a ruler or against any government; excite people to take over any government territory using unlawful means; bring into hatred or contempt the administration of justice in Malaysia; and promote feelings of ill-will and hostility among different races and classes. 2. It’s an archaic British law, introduced to Malaya in 1948 and amended shortly after the 1969 riots. What does this mean? It means the founding fathers of our nation did not legislate it. It was actually imported directly to become our law and was retained after Merdeka. The last prosecution for sedition in the United Kingdom was in 1972. In the UK, sedition as an offence was ef
