For those who are in the corporate world and for those who had left the corporate world, you should know what I am talking about.
So, why do employees leaving the corporate world? Well, I have some of the reasons.
6 reasons why do employees leaving the corporate world
Many of us join the employment world after graduation. Along the way, many of us might be leaving the corporate world.
Here are 6 reasons why employees leaving the corporate world.
1. Could not stand the work pressure
The work pressure is from every corner. They come from your immediate superior, your colleagues, your customers, your competitors, even directly from your CEO. I think not many people are willing to be in this stressful working environment for long.
Some healthy pressure is good for a better achievement but only a robot can handle continuous pressure, unrealistic target and never-ending deadlines.
2. Organizational blame game
My colleague and I call this, ‘throw the ball around’ game.
When an issue happened, no one is trying to find the solutions. But they find someone to blame or try to throw the issue to another department. The issue ended unsolved and might cause losing customers.
Instead of learning from the mistake and working together to prevent the same issue from happening again, the blame game will only bring further harm to the organization.
3. Too many office politics
This is really a game that many would not want to be involved but sad to say, it is hard to avoid in a big organization.
Even a small office of two or three-person cannot run away from office politics. Not to mention big corporate with hundreds or thousands of employees where most of these employees only concern about their own personal benefits.
Backstabbing can happen anytime anywhere. I always tell myself that never trust all they said, leave some room for the real story.
4. Repeating negative events
It is always somewhere, on one fine day, the boss calls a colleague (well, quite a good employee who had contributed for years for the company) to his room. The next thing would be that colleague packing up and was informed that he has been made redundant.
A few months on the road, another person had to go. No one deserved to be treated in this way.
5. Dysfunctional human resource department
I always believe human resource plays a very important role in the development of an organization, especially for a huge organization. After all, employment started and ended with human resources involved.
Some strict policies must be applied to everyone for the company’s benefit. No special treatment for anyone.
I also believe it is especially important for human resources to properly screen through the candidates before offering long term employment. Because some negative attitudes spread faster than a typhoon.
6. The realization that there’s more to life than that corporate job
Towards some points, we will realize that there’s more to our lives than that corporate job.
Maybe time and experience have moulded us into better people. Perhaps the corporate world had taught us something that we are now looking at things differently.
The long stressful working hours had not only draining our energy but also taking away some part of our healthy body.
Final thoughts
Many would agree if I say employment offer one of the best active income solutions. But, there are also the downsides of employment that force employees leaving the employment world.
