Shut Up!!!!!!
Many of us hate our employers. Well many of us never express it....but some do & get kicked out...haha....
Here I got some reasons....what employees generally hate about their employers..
1. Lack of Communication
The biggest problem with any relationship is lack of communication. And that extends beyond the personal life and into the work life.

The issue starts when employees avoid speaking forthright to their employers for fear of retribution. A valid feeling in many cases. But there are plenty of things employers can do to open the lines of communication, like making time for employees, giving feedback, listening closely, asking questions and above all else, not hiding in the office and directing traffic solely through emails.
2. Unfair Pay
It's hard to find an employee who thinks they make too much money. So the best employers can do is live up to fair-wage standards.
The bottom line is that complaining about salary, in most cases, won't increase a worker's wage. What employees can do to boost their paychecks is emphasize their experience, improve their education, point out positive performance reviews, work less desirable but higher paying shifts, and exemplify successes.
3. No Job Security
With outsourcing, downsizing, globalization and pressure to meet the bottom line, job security has become a scarce commodity.
A substantial amount of employees have been made to feel as valuable to the company as a paper clip. Therefore, the backlash has been that workers are changing jobs at a clip of every three years
4. Under Appreciation
![]()
When employees don't feel appreciated, the stress it creates can have a fatal blow to a company's productivity and bottom line. There are several ways to display appreciation, but the simplest ones are sometimes all that's necessary.
"You would be surprised how a half-day on Friday to begin the weekend can be greatly appreciated."
5. Favoritism
Anytime someone receives special treatment at work, it's bound to ruffle the feathers of fellow employees. Whether it's more money, an undeserved promotion, or a better schedule, favoritism by an employer can be a destructive force to morale. When "who you know" becomes a blatant reason for advancement or preferential treatment, employees often find it tough to swallow this bitter pill.
6. Overworked
If you've never felt overworked at one time in your career, you probably don't have a pulse. Aside from not getting paid enough, this is probably the most common complaint employees have - whether it's true or not.
And it certainly can have more impact than getting a hundred bucks less in your paycheck every week. The toll on overworked employees can include fatigue, irritability, weight gain, insomnia, and a whole host of other physical and mental ailments.
7. Micromanagement
Everyone's had the micromanaging boss breathing down their neck. The boss that's involved is great. The one who's over-involved can be a nightmare. The micromanager shows little trust in employees and robs them of the ability to do their job
Micromanagers usually have an obsessive-compulsive behavior and fear if they don't stay on top of an employee, then their job is on the line. The only real way to stop an employer from micromanaging is to tell them that you can produce better results if given the freedom to do so. Of course, that conversation has to be polite and tactful.
8. Incompetent Managers
There's at least one in every company. The man or woman who people shake their head at and ask, "How in the world did they get that job?" Thousands of unqualified bosses slip up the ranks and into positions they have no right to hold. It's just part of the work life, and it aggravates the heck out of employees.
There's not a lot workers can do if they're under the thumb of a bumbling boss, so turn the situation around. If the boss is no good, it gives the employee a better chance to stand out and score major bonus points with senior management.
9. No Opportunity for Advancement
Finding yourself with a ceiling over your career is not a good place for an employee to be in. The first step is taking an honest look at the situation and listing the reasons you're not getting promoted.
If an employee feels they're qualified and constantly getting passed up for a promotion, take the initiative, get yourself noticed and learn what's needed to be considered for the job.
10. Overbearing Boss
The nasty, overbearing boss is probably the biggest cliché of any workplace. The evil supervisor is constantly being represented on the small and big screen, including the recent film, 'The Devil Wears Prada,' where Meryl Streep portrayed the ruthless and cynical magazine editor, Miranda Priestly.
But for a lot of unfortunate employees, the miserly boss isn't Hollywood fiction. It's a reality that workers have to face and deal with.
So what do you think??
- Create a confidential Career Profile and Resume/C.V. online
- Get advice for planning their career and for marketing of experience and skills
- Maximize awareness of and access to the best career opportunities

Take day as it comes, who knows if there will be a tomorrow or not! |
Mam it might not make sense for highly qualified people but it does make sense for few who are still to reach that height. |
Tolerance is good sometimes but not always .. revenge is truly a sign of cowardice. Nice thought for the day sir ! |
