Your best people quit quietly Long before they resign. Top performers leave when you waste their potential.
Here are 9 real reasons they stay:
Free lunch won't keep your best people.
Neither will:
What actually matters:
1️⃣ Genuine Appreciation.
↳ Not empty praise, but meaningful recognition.
↳ Celebrating their impact, not just their output.
2️⃣ Work That Matters.
↳ Problems worth solving, not just tasks to complete.
↳ Autonomy to make meaningful decisions.
3️⃣ Bigger Purpose.
↳ Connection to company mission that inspires.
↳ Building something they're proud to talk about.
4️⃣ Fair Compensation.
↳ Paying for impact, not just market rate.
↳ Clear path to growth in both role and rewards.
5️⃣ Leaders Who Fight For Them.
↳ Protecting their time like it's precious (it is).
↳ Having their back when it matters most.
6️⃣ Psychological Safety.
↳ Freedom to take smart risks.
↳ Trust to experiment and learn.
7️⃣ Real Influence.
↳ Voice in strategic decisions.
↳ Ideas that turn into action.
8️⃣ Rapid Growth.
↳ Challenges that stretch their capabilities.
↳ Skills that compound their value.
9️⃣ Life Beyond Work.
↳ Success without sacrifice.
↳ Energy for what matters outside work.
Great talent stays where their potential is unleashed.
Not contained. They stay where their impact is clear.
Not confused. They stay where leadership gets this right.
Kinetic Business is thriving like never before. The group here now is quite simply the best there is, was and ever will be!
Hi Gang
No help needed this time, i already told them there will be no growth for 3 YEARS 🤣 and got away with it.
Asta la vista babies
I’m hearing Q2 will be the turnaround quarter, word is the numbers coming through look fantastic, maybe that $8 target for the Warrants is in sight
After the $130 all-time high, it has continued to fall and now is down for the past 1 month. How long will it stay above $100 until the street realizes Cisco is just rebranding the usual Switching orders as AI Infra? There’s no meaningful improvement in other BUs like Wireless or SBG - more than the traditional single digit growth.
BAC up
C up
JPM up
GS up
broad market Financials up 1%
WFC down.
Because you can't fire your way to growth and you can't AI your way to efficiency (all you are doing is automating broken processes, ensuring they stay broken). Ford found this out the hard way and ended up hiring back 350 engineers they fired.
Startup: Bringing your business idea to life.
Growth: Consumers know about you and your revenue is increasing.
Maturity: More brand awareness and a strong presence in your target market.
Renewal or Decline: While every business wants to avoid a decline, it’s bound to happen to almost everyone. Reinvesting in your company can result in its renewal -- or decline can happen for a variety of reasons:

A Rutgers University report forecasts sluggish economic growth for New Jersey over the next two years, predicting a rate below the national average. The state's job market is expected to weaken, with employment growth projected to slow significantly in 2026. While education and health services have driven recent job gains, other sectors have experienced declines. Population growth, largely fueled by international migration, is also anticipated to decrease. The report suggests New Jersey's unemployment rate will remain higher than the national figure.

What's there not to love?
Culture always starts at the top.
Winning companies build cultures of trust, accountability, and innovation.
Losing companies build cultures of fear, bureaucracy, and compliance.
When employees spend more time talking about RTO, presence reports, FTW letters, and layoffs than customers, growth, or innovation, you’ve stopped building a winning culture. You’ve instead built a culture of survival.
If employees are disengaged, anxious, and constantly wondering what’s coming next, that’s not an employee problem. Leadership shapes culture, and culture shapes results.
You can’t track your way to engagement, you can’t mandate trust, and you can’t build a winning company with a culture of losing.
It’s not what’s for dinner…... Shake up the company and bake the books. Still waiting for growth mode
We are hiring and have returned to growth
Hundreds of open positions with a clear hiring and go to market strategy
The markets love us and are rewarding us with a solid stock price
Markets are down but otex is way up today - we are a strong company with a strong story which the markets love

What if, and hear me out, leadership focused on growing revenue instead of shrinking headcount? Wouldn't that be something? Too bad nobody here would ever try that.
VP and above having off sites this week, you know what that means
That we are hiring and returning to growth
July is for sales only, I've heard around 20-30 layoffs
Company retaining most of it's talent , and growing
I usually come on here for small bursts for mental health.
So we went from We are hiring and have returned to growth
To immediately calling the inbetween layoffs (that were valid) low skill.
To now saying it's only Sales, who have also had pretty high turnover.
You guys have strange lore over here. No that's magically stopping all the debt. Can yall at least collect the new ones for me? 🥺
HR lackies.
2600 names and counting.
They seem to be growing and doing big things
MIP for PH was 70% which is crazy given the BU is a growth driver for Medtronic overall.
The entry barrier to inferencing is less compared to training and modeling side of AI . So competition will ki-l the dominant position soon. So the hyper scaler story CEO says will only have short life and company heading south
Société de transport de Sherbrooke (STS) is laying off 22 employees. These job cuts specifically target urban drivers. The decision comes despite the transit corporation's recent growth. STS reported a 33% increase in ridership since the pandemic. The union criticizes the move as nonsensical during expansion.

He mentioned helping clients innovate through agentic AI, trusted data infrastructure, and other technology investments. Do you see this as a positive sign of growth and future opportunities, or are you taking a wait-and-see approach?
How do you think this investment will impact employees, clients, and future hiring?
I’m waiting to see what happens after the layoffs. Layoffs always cause a stock bump. The announcement of a multiyear layoff, while tragic, was smart for a sustained climbing stock bump but what about after?
You have to have something new that your competitor does not or do something better than your competitor. I’ve never seen a Citi bank, an actual walk in bank and I’ve never seen a Citi ATM other than what’s at the office. So we make the direction of wealth management. Oookay, so what’s our plan of getting that market share? People don’t just move money from a well established bank to another bank because they are bored with nothing to do.
What’s the plan to still have the stock grow post the layoffs? What are we doing to accomplish that, that’s either new or better than other banks?
Fantastic to see Shannon in Ireland this week with the announcement around growth (despite hating who she was standing alongside) . One thing we are in Ireland is a mecca for IT, put simply if you do not have an Irish presence in Europe, globally shut the doors. Let's go!!
One day I think we've got what it takes to climb back up. We've still got plenty of smart people and good products. But then I look at how far we've fallen and I wonder if we'll ever get that back. So I'm asking all of you. Do you think we'll find our way up again, or are those days behind us for good?
Hundred of open position, lots of new customers, very high renewal rates
We are a rocketship and the market is impressed
This seems like a company with the right priorities, soooo close to the 2Bn mark.

You on on your way to creating a tsunami! Taking the bull by the horns and restructuring with Incredible Insight!
One of the most surprising things that when Opentext acquired MF it included Novell groupwise. It’s been a secret winner ! It sells more than enterprise cyber
Stock up again today
The market loves our moves and is confident on our hiring plans and return to growth
Oracle is performing well 👍
The recent quarterly meeting Q&A made one thing undeniable: management has a severe employee trust deficit. With this morale, getting 2-digit growth rate is impossible.
Up another 5% today - the market understands that we are hiring and have returned to growth
