Our oldest dog is 14 and almost blind and doesn’t do well if left alone all day.

Workers with kids get special treatment it seems.

My boss (who has 4 kids under 8) denied it saying it was impossible. The walk from the bus stop to my office is 30 minutes. Did I mention the temps where I live in winter easily hit 30 below zero. My daily commute goes from 15 to 75 minutes each way. We only have 1 vehicle and the bus service to where I work is awful. my wife has been called back to work after 19 months WFH. She continues to work from home when not in office. The other one who sits across from me waltzs in at 9:30 and leaves by 2:00 to get her kids from daycare. One breeder can’t find daycare and gets to keep WFH. 3 weeks ago everyone in my department got called back to HO. As a (53M) without kids I volunteered and went to the office everyday. 19 months ago the majority of our office (50 people) got to work from home.

The historic highs we’re seeing when it comes to job vacancies are not just a business challenge – they have a very real impact on the people who are picking up the extra work or putting in extra hours, in order to cover these gaps.I finally experienced the bias given to breeders and I don’t like it. The steps she recommends taking to prevent this include “open and honest conversations about things like compensation and benefits, but also how people are coping generally with their level of work and responsibilities. Townend suggests that companies need to recognise the warning signs that talent could soon be walking out the door. Without listening to your people or addressing their frustrations, they can build up and one final tipping point can cause an employee to hand in their notice,” she adds. If Sue sells 50 more product than Jane, it’s not favoritism if Sue gets the promotion, praise, and special privileges. However, “there are some resignations that are preventable and usually borne out of frustration with an employer. What Is Favoritism Favoritism in the workplace is when a person (usually a manager) demonstrates preferential treatment to one person over all of the other employees for reasons unrelated to performance.

There is an increasing pressure on business to both recruit and retain talent.ĬEO of LHH UK and Ireland, JC Townend, says: “There are usually multiple reasons when an employee chooses to hand in their notice, and in some instances, this is not a negative reflection of their current employer, they may simply be ready to move onto new things.” In the UK, job vacancies reached an all-time high of 1.25 million between October and December 2021, stress LHH. With the number of resignations increasing across the world, employee retention should be a top priority for employers.
