I see many people are hitting the job market these days. A few people that I know already left at the beginning of the year. I know all of us will find that there is a lot wrong with this company, but I ask the people that are actively looking for other jobs, what is their one main reason why they want to leave?

Burn out, company doesn't really care about the overload.
No raise in my current position. I have more work dumped on me daily. The only way to get a raise is getting a promotion within the company so says TT, however, you have to be in the good ole boy system or you aren't getting anything but sh-t and dam sure no new position. No help from my manager on how to move up to get said raise. Tired of watching the same people move to whatever job they want with zero education or experience. Enough said 🖕
too many chiefs, not enough troops. More leads and managers on a shift? There seems to be a problem here......
Workload
Zero morale
too many C U Next Tuesdays in managment,
Micromanagement and horrible lack of concern for employees and families not in the management ranks. Look, the bottom line is that TT and cronies like to be dictators rather than real human beings. It’s sickening to watch these people make their attempts at putting lipstick on this pig. This company has sucked the enjoyment out of building a career. Not sure why they haven’t learned that the more you micromanage, the more you grow resentment in your rank and file. Didn’t management learn this in the nineties with the companies that had like a million levels of management, most of which don’t do a thing??
Promoting useless eaters into managers and no money for the folks that keep the wheels turning. Helpless help desk, overloaded IT techs trying to keep up with all the broken systems no one knows how to fix, those that knew no longer work here.
Windstream employees cannot afford to stay with a company that prefers to social engineer their employees as opposed to providing a career path and maintaining living wages - is that simple enough to understand?
Signs of a bad company
- HR offering bonuses to employees if they find new employees for the meat grinder.
- HR never disputing that most employees are falling behind due to how wages are adjusted for inflation - a 3% raise ever 3 years is freaking horrible - that did not work even before the Biden fiasco
- HR begging employees to provide positive reviews on sites like Glassdoor
Having to buy itself onto a best '100 places to work list' as opposed to fixing the situation.
- A CEO that resorts to 'Windstream' is not a Prison' when confronted about lack of raises.
Do not let your kids grow up to be Windstreamers - they will hate you for the rest of your life
Wasteful spending.
We sent a bunch of leaders on a "team building" trip at a cost of thousands a person.
Management is deaf. I don't want to read about TT's epiphanies whilst hiking in the Alps. I want to know how to keep up with 8+% inflation on a 2% raise every couple of years. But hey - it's not a prison, you can leave any time you want.
We never hear management discuss layoffs. So all we get is discussions amongst ourselves at the water cooler, and looking at Teams to figure out whose name turned into a number.
We have a NOC NOC joke with a language barrier and a lack of understanding of how the network even works. Troubleshooting a fiber is so, and the NOC tech asks me if the fiber is connected to any other equipment in the office. No sweetie, it's the new wireless fiber that pulls light out of the air and into the card.
Crazy dysfunctional company ran by college educated id--ts.
No future, no opportunities, dying business plan, greedy executives, sesnse of despair of our team, depression, should I keep going?
