Morning 6-Pack - Turnover Shenanigans: What We’d Do If We Couldn’t Get Fired!
The job market has been a rollercoaster lately, but guess what? We’re grabbing our popcorn and diving into some juicy stats about employee turnover! So, hold onto your hats, because it turns out losing an employee is costing companies more than your average lunch bill – we’re talking over $45,000 per head! That’s enough to make any HR manager shed a tear (or maybe just a tiny, tiny tear). And if you’re in a bigger company, the turnover is expected to climb even higher! We chat about what’s behind these numbers – think more workplace demands, better pay elsewhere, and folks just wanting to try something new. But don’t worry, we’re not just here for the doom and gloom; we’re bringing the fun with a top 6 list of what we’d do if we could never get fired. Spoiler alert: it involves stealing toilet paper and saying nice things to the lady in charge of harassment training! Tune in for the giggles and the good vibes; it’s the Morning 6-Pack that’ll have you laughing all the way to the office!
