Tech Workers' Job Satisfaction Hits All-Time Low, According to New Data

Tech workers are experiencing a significant decline in job satisfaction, with employee dissatisfaction now on par with workers in finance and consulting. The tech industry, once known for its generous compensation and reasonable work-life balance, is now facing a growing sense of frustration among its workforce. Factors contributing to this shift include the managementization of tech, with more managers than front-line workers, and the realization that the best jobs in tech are often non-technical roles. To regain workplace happiness and foster innovation, tech companies need to flatten organizational hierarchies, prioritize investment in technical talent, and listen to the voices of front-line employees.

The Pitfalls of Career Advancement: Why Promotions Often Lead to Resignations

New data from payroll processor ADP reveals that promotions increase the likelihood of employees leaving their jobs, with 29% of promoted workers leaving within a month compared to 18% of those who weren't promoted. However, it's not the promotions themselves that make people want to quit, but rather the fact that by the time a manager considers someone promotion-ready, the worker is likely already looking for other opportunities. Many employees who quit after a promotion are choosing to bet on themselves and start their own businesses, reflecting a broader erosion of trust in institutions. The data also highlights that some promotions are merely in name, without accompanying raises, and that low-skilled workers are more likely to leave after being promoted as a way to signal their value to potential employers. Companies serious about employee advancement should ensure that workers are prepared for the increased responsibilities that come with promotions.
