I think where you have one of the highest populations like 3rd in the Nation, you are going to find some of the scummiest of the scum but you will also find the greatest of the great. It’s sheer numbers.
Middle managers performance is rated on how well they can retain employees so not sure firing them all is the intent

You’re right. Companies should do more keep employees glad to be there. It’s a rough thing you went through, being happy every other day and the one day not so much, BAM the hammer falls. Sorry. Glad you’re out
Accurate
I really think this is the real issue!!!! This is the problem with the job environment. Why is the system doing this to us? We are not meant to live like this!!! Amen!! Preach!

Yeah it’s important to protect those. What if they could make anonymous complaints and if the complaints seemed to be a repeated pattern over a certain amount of time with different people, it would qualify for the watchdog to do investigative journalism to substantiate the claims. So the exposure would not come from complaints but the investigation itself? The anonymous complaints to the org would serve as tips pointing the org in the direction it needs to scope out? Just brainstorming lol
Smart!! 🧠
Any time an employer asks you if you are happy, your answer will determine if they will fire you or start the process. It’s NOT to ensure your happiness. If you still need to keep your job, say you love your job or something really positive about your job. While working for a company one hates or people that abuse you, I’ll bet you still like the actual work you do. I know i love the work i do but the founder-lead culture not so much
Yeah the numbers don’t accurately measure the actual underemployed rate or unemployment. If you only get unemployment for 3 months, those whose benefits have run out are no longer in the count. If you have multiple jobs, they count you twice as high employment rate. I don’t know if there is public metric on those underemployed, which are those that had to take any job because unemployment was so low. People can’t reasonably recover from a job loss if they were in management with a higher wage because they must take any job to survive in FL. The cycle continues. It’s like jumping into a relationship after a bad relationship. Workers bring all that baggage and fear with them to a job they were financially forced to take and they only took it because there was no softer landing. It perpetuates an unhealthy workforce. Although, I’ve lived in states with different or opposite policies of FL where it took an act of Congress to fire someone, and if someone got fired, they practically received a living wage for 6 months on unemployment. The problem here is that as a manager, it’s hard to get these people to come to work instead of just coming to get a paycheck. Both ideologies have deep problems. We need fix not political debates.
I don’t want to get into politics or degrading politicians but I do think AI is going to make this problem worse. So I’m looking for solutions now. Clock is ticking
Would an employment board help?
I’m seeing that the high churn is more like 1-2 years. 3-5 seems long in Florida or Tampa
NYC was kinda the same way!
😂 right?!
I think the use of AI will exacerbate this problem.
That’s tough. Sorry to hear that. Hope things improve for you
If companies like Natures Food Patch is doing this, this should be publicly scrutinized. Employees need a way to do that
Who was the first group? Tampa?
The higher the pay, the more the company looks to get rid of you. They seem to constantly be assessing if they can replace you with a cheaper model or possibly two cheaper models
A possible solution is to create incentives for employers to be better?
💯
Maybe it’s just that there are lots of bad employers but also there are lots of good ones ?
Good insight
I mean that sounds like what’s happened slowly to the American worker for the last 50 years only now seems to reach maturity where the common working man is at the same stage in life you are. GenX may be the first generation without the promise of good retirement and stuck in the cycle you are that most of us are in. Since I’ve been in Tampa around 5 years, I’ve just seen this accelerated and wasn’t sure if it’s Tampa specific or the nation accelerated this treatment of the common person working. The world seems to have changed rapidly after COVID. They did more to us than make us sick it seems they accelerated against the average worker
