BEWARE: Comfort will make your brain rebel against change

[luniac]

There's a common expression I use in the retail industry:

"Short-timers disease"

This is when an employee has decided they will be quitting, and their attitude and performance goes to shit.

I can always tell when an employee plans on quitting long before they actually put in their notice.

(not all my management team can pick this out yet, but they're smart guys/gals...so they're getting there)

If they make the decision to quit too long before they are actually ready to quit, we end up having to fire them to protect my business.

That's essentially what you describe here.

Another common expression I teach my team:

"Willing and Able"

Employee's have to have both. They have to be both willing and able to do the job.

We can train most anyone to be able to do the job. The unwilling one's though? They get cut loose FAST.

I can't change the "willing" part of that equation. I have the patience of a saint for the ability part. Most people if they are willing will get the job down and be able.

But the unwilling one's can go work somewhere else. (preferably at my competition haha)

You describe this here too. Unwilling.

I wonder...was there a point in intentionally causing all this drama for yourself and your employer?

Jobs SUCK, for sure.

But there is a difference between putting yourself on a new track in life, shaking your employer's hand as you leave on good terms, moving on with your life...and what you did.

naw man there wasn't really any big drama i swear.
everything was always chill and to the point. kind of as a matter of fact like.
I never got yelled at, and i shook my manager's hand before i left with a smile.
outside of work we'd still be cool.
My contract said it was At Will Employment anyway, they could have fired me any anytime for any reason.
I survived 3.5 years because i did provide value, just wasn't enough anymore, simple as that.
