Staying Put Requires a Plan

from Unmanaged: Workplace Strategy · host Elizabeth Arnott

Job hugging is a newly identified trend where people hold onto their dysfunctional jobs as long as they can because of the instability of the job market. It makes sense. Our world is changing rapidly and it seems like there’s not a day that goes by without a life altering piece of news. So how do we do this and not lose our minds? We are still dealing with the same people in the same dysfunctional environment who are also holding onto their jobs with a death grip. So we need strategy - and that’s where I come in. Unmanaged, where we build the skills to navigate workplaces that aren’t working, is getting more strategic too. Going forward, I will be posting at least twice weekly: One post introducing a concept, strategy or technique on Wednesdays and then on Fridays for Fridays Off the Record to answer questions from readers. This gives me more time to develop the resources this moment actually calls for. In the coming weeks I’ll be rolling out more ways to get what you need, without it costing more than you have. Workshops, email courses and a support group are some of the things I am working on. If you have ideas or feedback that you’d like to share, I’d love to hear about them. Please email me at [email protected]. I can’t wait to share more with you! For more resources and information, please visit unmanagedpeople.com. Watch Unmanaged on YouTube. Listen to Unmanaged on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Book a free consultation. Submit an anonymous question for Fridays Off the Record. Contact Elizabeth. This is a public episode.

The dissatisfaction people felt with the modern workplace was exacerbated by the pandemic, and nobody wants to be worse off after enjoying new freedoms and flexibilities. But bosses want people back in the office. Workers are striking for fairer conditions. Trust in staff is at an all time low. Economic pressures are in danger of pushing diversity, equity, and inclusion down the employment agenda. Bullying and stress are rife. We can't carry on like this. We need your help.
