Many people leave work due to different reasons. For some, it’s the family or the commute and sometimes it’s the employer and the salary. Employers should have a career path set up for their employees to keep them motivated and prevent them to quit. Many people also leave work is because they are tired of working on the same issue forever, they are not challenged. Nowadays, people likes to be different and challenged to keep the brain busy with work while completing the project in time. I believe as an individual it is important to move up and be challenged at work. Overall, there are many reasons people quit and it really depends on the salary and the working environment.

People generally leave their work because of the boring schedules.

I agree with the class on this topic. There are a number of people who will stay at a job even if they don't like it if it is stable. But there are a good amount of people who leave work because they don't like what they do. Like in the survey, they may not like it because they receive limited praise from management. Again this is not for everyone as some people are not content being a cog in a machine and rightfully so. Also like in the survey, I have seen people accept pay cuts to be part of the company where I am now because they believe that it is the future of warehouse automation and they fully get behind it. It all comes down to if a person is content with what they are doing and will act accordingly when it comes to staying in their position or finding a better one.

As everyone stated above, there are a whole host of reasons why someone would leave their job. I think a main contributing factor is due to mundane projects and day to day activities. I have heard countless times from colleagues that they have left work because what started out to be an exciting task turned out to be repeated day in a day out. These mundane tasks performed over and over again can become rather taxing and can lead to burn out after a while. This can in turn lead to lack of passion for ones work which can then turn into lack of recognition. I feel however a major contributing factor is the mundane day to day activities that can cause one to leave for another exciting opportunity.

There's a few reasons I have left jobs in the past but the main has always been a better opportunity. However, there are jobs that I have regretted leaving and others I have not. The ones I have not regretted were ones with either hostile environments or ones which were simply, as the professor had said, unfulfilling in terms of praise and recognition.

It is definitely important to have jobs where you are, appropriately, praised and recognized. It is a great indicator for people that you are doing well and can also be an motivator in the sense that you have a better future with the company.

I believe that there is a correlation between wanting to quit because of lack of praise and you wanting to work because of exciting challenges. The correlation exist in that a worker is motivated to take on and accept harder work challenges because it gives them exposure to new ideas and people and allows them to make a mark in another field in which they have not done before. If a worker is working really hard by challenging themselves then they expect some praise for reaching out and trying new challenging work. If they do not receive any praise and instead just work really hard for no recognition then it takes away from their accomplishments. I think people work really hard for recognition from others so they can get things such as promotions, raises, proving worth over others and to be a sense of accomplishment. Without receiving any of these a person will become demotivated and not want to challenge themselves anymore. I have quit jobs in the past mainly because I believed I was not getting paid enough and that I should be earning more for my hard work. Also, working with demotivated and boring coworkers has pushed my decision to leave as well.

Even if your job is challenging , you may quit that job or you may feel demotivated because of lack of appreciation or recognition you get for the work you completed so far. so appreciation has an important role in making employee stay. what make employee leave there job ? that is a important question and i agree with most of the discussions above. If a person do the same job and nothing is challenging, but the management do not care about what employee feels. they can quit the job . Always a manger has to understand that if you assign a job to an employee are they happy with their work assigned? A manager should know what and employee like, where they need training, keep attention and enhance the factors they identify that keep them coming back everyday.
There are many reason people quit the job
1.Relationship With the Boss
2.Relationships With Coworkers
3.Opportunities to Use Their Skills and Abilities
4.Overall Corporate Culture

I think that even though the fact that people stay for the challenge that work provides is sort of opposite of people leaving because they don't get recognition and praise they are somewhat related. You want to have a job where there are challenges that push you to be better. You might not be motivated or stay if that work becomes boring. Even though you stay for the challenge you might want to leave if your accomplishments are not recognized. I would think that the bigger the challenge the more recognition and praise you would get. You would feel the accomplishment for yourself but being taken for granted could be demotivating to an employee. They might be able to find a job where they have the challenge they need to stay and at the same time receive the praise they lacked in order to not leave.

I believe it starts with the culture of the team. If your team has any issues with one another or have no desire of helping one another then it will lead to people either leaving the team to join another group or leave the company. The team environment is everything; you want a team that will motivate each other, and help each other. Coworkers who don’t do this will have no stability within the team, it will only lead to group conflict. I believe the you should be excited to go to work the next morning. Having a good team environment can make work more enjoyable.

I think there are so many reasons why people leave work. But, the most important ones I think most people leave for are bad management that destroys projects, Un-fairness and relation between team members. from my experience before, I left one position due to so many promises and never got true. Sometimes management decision effect affects the progress of my work. Managment have to set the honest expectation and transfer t a clear ides and direction for the company. and when they tend to hide some information and show it at the wrong time it distracts the workflow. That I couldn't work in a focused target to grow in my field. and, that's when I decided to move to a different company. I was glad to do so as I knew after I left the whole team get affected and transferred to different teams.

I think that there are many reasons someone may leave a certain job including finding a better opportunity elsewhere, being frustrated with their current work assignments, or issues with people in the organization. Someone may leave a job because the have the opportunity for advancement by taking a job at a different company or they want to try a different line of work. People may also become frustrated by their current work situation such as feeling like the are being mistreated by management or not being challenged enough by their work.

People change their jobs for many different reasons depending on their situation. Two reasons I can come across is Difficult Work Environment and Career Change. Associates, supervisors, and a negative office condition would all be able to make a job difficult. Indeed, they can make your working environment a place where you just would prefer not to be. When you have attempted each choice, you may need to settle on a choice to take off. Also, I know a couple of people who have quit their employment since they need to accomplish something other than what's expected or they would prefer not to manage pressure or travel anymore.

People leave work most of the times because they have a better opportunity waiting for them. But the reason they start looking for a new job is because they are getting bored at their current job and aren't challenged enough. We get bored from doing the same things everyday. So when we see that everyday starts to become mundane, that is when we look for another job. Also if people leave their jobs because they see that they are getting appreciated for what they're doing. Their manager might be overlooking them or they might not be getting paid for all the work they're doing. Another reason is because they see that they isn't growth in that company to move to a higher position and therefore start looking for another job.

Personally, I feel like if people don’t work just to make a living at a comfortable position then they are seeking some way to leverage their skills and advance them by becoming more knowledgeable and versatile. Many people end up not necessarily working in the particular field that they were educated and lead about. This is where people’s ability to adapt and advance comes into play. Thant is why I feel like people would naturally want to use their skills to better them selves and as they grow will try to find a way to use what they are good at. Once they have grown and know their place in the industry they may then stat to realize if there are limitations in where they are and may seek new position to use their skills. If they are motivated by money and comfort they would leave for those reasons.

Employees leave the company because they are not appreciated or recognized. It usually comes in many forms such as underpaid, not receiving positive feedback for a good job not getting bonuses. The company should be able to deal with a skilled employee and motivate them to engage in the development of the company. Challenging job is important as it encourages and motivates them to learn new skills and achieve the required target.
