Just wondering, do you think it would have helped your situation if it were the cultural norm to "try before you buy" for both parties? Obviously it takes time to get up to speed and productivity, but it seems better and more productive for you not to have an unhappy employee in the long-term.
I get that any kind of turnover is tough to manage especially if you're a small team. But if we all (employers, employees, customers/clients/users) were to became a little more prepared for a certain amount (within a short period of time after hiring), it would simply become the expectation. As it stands, companies are now afraid to hire and employees are afraid to seek due to the ever more byzantine hiring process.
It may not exactly seem intuitive, but I believe if either firing or quitting (at least within some type of trial period) became a little less stigmatized on both sides, we would all live in less fear and end up much more productive in the longer term.
- pengaru 3y agoThere's already a cultural norm of hiring contractors and for them to become full-time when mutually desired.
- unleashit 3y agoExactly and IMO we would all be better served if F/T employees were treated more as "temp to hire". Contractors would still be contractors in terms of taxes, benefits, expectation of where/how services are rendered, etc.
