If you were a new employee, what would be the deciding factor to stay or leave?

The company I work for is a mess. Turnover is high and now my supervisor left yesterday. We have a new supervisor now but after only 1 day of training he has no log in to our system, and no knowledge of what we do. I am training someone else also and strangely enough I am training MY new supervisor! The "upper management" is barking orders at me to produce what my last supervisor did, but I am not a supervisor, nor do I want to be. Tomorrow I am having a meeting with these people about the bad impression we are giving and I would like some input from you on what would "make it or break it" in deciding to stay with a company. Be frank and honest, talk about real experiences, or something you could imagine would be a problem. We are talking mostly "structural issues" and not harassment as that is not the case where I work.


Thank you for your information, this one will be taken to the table tomorrow, this "public opinion survey" really counts!


Kind regards

You seem very unhappy there. I could never work for someone or someplace I don't respect. The company is in dire need of re-organization and overall take charge direction. I imagine the rest of the employees need some serious morale lifting. The masses need a leader! That is why production/productivity is down and chaos is ruling. If not dealt with immediately, work circumstances would be intolerable. If you do not want the supervisory position, why are you addressing the meeting? You need to decide if you want to lead (demand salary increase) or request a transfer to a sister company or give notice ASAP. Good luck
Reply:If I like the nature of the job and it will help me reach where I want to be, if I am treated well and if I see you optimistic and being *honest*, I will decide to stay. I rather hear the truth even if it's not pleasant and I will try to be as accomodating as possible. But that is me, and I don't know about others preferences. One thing I do suggest is you ask them what their goals and interests are....and help them reach their own personal goals. When you take an interest in their career goals, they are more likely to help you reach yours. Goodluck, and kudos to you for handling so much change. All the best. Take it all as a challenge and a stepping stone to more growth and learning.
Reply:it can go both ways later on, it can get worst and cause to much stress on you, or since the "big dogs" that where above you are gone, or you know more then the one they just hired, it can work for you for a promotion or a better standing in the company. Maybe wait it out a little, and do some job searching on the side.
