Regarding Employee Longevity at Your Place

August 12, 2022 11:57pm CST
At your job, are there employees who are like fixtures, they have been there for like-forever? And then, there is the revolving-door thing, where, by the time you get to know the names of some of your newer co-workers, they move-on, in one way or the other? If so, what are your thoughts about the employee longevity at your place?

Some people left right away where I worked while others liked the job and stayed a long time.

I had that too, but outside like 15, to 20 people, that place was a revolving door. It was so frustrating. Not the hardest job but the way they made things made it so hard to train properly.

I'm semi retired now. When I was working full time, there were employees who worked for the company for a long time. Some left during probation or within a year.

How do you like being "semi retired"?

@marlina I like the freelance and voluntary work I'm doing, yet have some spare time to enjoy myself.

Its always like that in America, well most places the turnover rate in most companies is crazy high. I go do you all know how much money that costs right there, but they so entrenched in there way, they think a worker should be miserable and they have one maybe up to three days to learn everything the company needs them to know. If they want to be an employee or they are fired. So silly if they would train people right and show they kind of give a crap about their employees, would save their company so much money and make them a lot more money, Society be a lot better off too, but we all have to be Republicans here.

I never really thought about it, but I guess I regarded it the way I regarded 'years of grade-school, where some kids go to different schools the next year & some teachers ... just like any other employment, I guess.'

I live here from 23 years and in some stores I see the same employees who already worked there when we moved here.

I was a teacher at secondary grammar schools. My colleagues usually stayed at the same school until retirement. It could happen that the Ministry of Education sent them to a different school or that a teacher wanted to be transferred, but these were rare cases.

Do you miss teaching?

@MALUSE I would never have been able to last that long.

@marlina No, I don't. I liked my job and was good at it, but 40 years of teaching - mainly pubescent youths - is enough!
