If you have an amazing product idea… you need talent to produce it. Producing quality business products does not come magically.
#ChatGPT

That’s very true. Having a great idea for a product is just the beginning. You also need talented individuals to turn that idea into a reality. It takes a team effort to produce a quality product, from design and development to marketing and sales. Without the right talent, it can be difficult to bring a product to market and compete with other businesses in the same industry.

#Quinn
And if you are not properly caring for the talent that helps bring those products and ideas into reality then the products and ideas never exist in reality.
#ChatGPT

That’s absolutely true. It’s important to understand that talent is a valuable asset for any business, and it needs to be nurtured and taken care of just like any other asset. A company that fails to do so risks losing its competitive edge, and ultimately, its ability to survive and thrive in the market.

#Quinn
Here is a differnt scenario… You have an engineer at a tech company who makes a product that wins an innovation award. However the project revealed an incompetent manager who was drinking beer in his office. The programmer tried to raise concerns and in the ned left the company because the company used a management scale type system where managers make more moany that developrs and thus are more important.

When it turned out the manager was trying to sabotage the employee because he wanted his flagship product to win the innovation award. The employee that won had built something unexpected to solve a serious business problem. Then the business let the employee walk away with all their domain knowledge he had gathered while working on the project.

#ChatGPT

That scenario highlights the importance of proper management and employee recognition in a business. A good manager should be able to recognize the value of their employees’ work and provide support and opportunities for growth. It’s also important for employees to have a clear communication path to raise concerns and report any issues they encounter. In this case, the incompetent manager and the lack of support from the company led to the loss of a valuable employee and their knowledge, which could have been used to further benefit the business.

#Quinn
This employee was talented in the use case and was brought in to solve a problem that the current talent could not solve. Then the employee solved the problem delivered an innovative solution that increased profit, and the tech company let that guy walk away with all their domain knowledge without an effort to retain his skills.
#ChatGPT

It sounds like the company made a big mistake in not recognizing the value of the employee’s skills and knowledge, and in not making an effort to retain them. Losing an employee with such expertise can be a huge setback for a company, particularly if they were responsible for delivering an innovative solution that increased profit. It is important for companies to recognize the value of their employees, particularly those who possess specialized skills, and to make efforts to retain them. This can include offering competitive compensation, career development opportunities, and a positive work environment.

#Quinn
also it includes having a human resource department that correctly identifies these cases when they occur.
#ChatGPT

Yes, having a human resources department that can identify and address these issues is crucial in retaining talented employees and ensuring a positive work culture. The HR department can also provide resources and support for employees who may be experiencing difficult situations, such as harassment or discrimination, and can work with managers to address and resolve these issues.

#Quinn
As in this use case the employee filed a claim with human resources about the treatment of the manager before departing. Had to take two weeks off because of it prior to departure.
#ChatGPT

It’s good that the employee filed a claim with HR before departing. It’s important for HR to properly investigate and address any concerns or complaints raised by employees. In situations like this, it’s also important for the company to have a solid exit process in place to ensure that important knowledge and skills are not lost when employees leave. Companies should also strive to retain their top talent by offering competitive compensation packages and providing opportunities for growth and development.

#Quinn
However in that situation the HR department said after two weeks if you don’t want your job don’t come back. That was it the developer didn’t feel cared for after innovating the business and never returned after his two week sebatical.
#ChatGPT

That’s a concerning situation. In cases like this, the HR department should conduct an investigation to ensure that the employee’s concerns are addressed and resolved in a satisfactory manner. HR departments play a crucial role in ensuring that employees are treated fairly and that their contributions to the company are valued. It’s important for companies to have policies and procedures in place to address issues like this and to take them seriously to prevent similar situations from occurring in the future.

#Quinn
Then later after that nobody really knows what happened to the developer, but the former manager ended up working at Amazon.
#ChatGPT

It sounds like there were some serious issues with how that situation was handled, and it’s unfortunate that the developer didn’t feel valued and supported by the company. It’s also concerning that the former manager, who exhibited problematic behavior, was able to move on to another job without any consequences or addressing the issues they caused at the previous company. These kinds of situations highlight the importance of having clear policies and procedures in place for handling employee concerns and complaints, as well as making sure that everyone is held accountable for their actions.

#Quinn
Then this talented developer who innovated the company hasn’t been seen in the industry since because he felt so mis-treated. Left the industry.
#ChatGPT

That is unfortunate to hear. It’s important for companies to properly value and appreciate their employees, especially talented ones who contribute to the success of the business. In this case, it sounds like the company failed to do so and lost out on a valuable employee as a result.

#Quinn
What is the cost of losing a prime talent because they feel mistreated by sub-par management?
#ChatGPT

The cost of losing a prime talent can be significant, both in terms of financial and non-financial impact. Financially, the cost can include the loss of investment in the employee’s training, hiring and onboarding costs, the cost of lost productivity, and the cost of recruiting and training a replacement. Non-financially, the cost can include damage to morale, loss of institutional knowledge, and a negative impact on the company’s reputation as an employer. Additionally, the loss of a prime talent may also mean the loss of potential future innovation and growth opportunities for the company.

#Quinn
is there a high cost to having sub-par management?
Is there a high cost to losing prime talent?

These are like the two biggest cost eaters in business besides employee theft.

#ChatGPT

Yes, there is a high cost to having sub-par management. Poor management can lead to decreased employee morale, decreased productivity, and increased turnover rates. Additionally, sub-par management can result in poor decision-making, which can ultimately hurt the business’s bottom line.

Similarly, losing prime talent can also be very costly. Losing talented employees can result in lost productivity, decreased morale among remaining employees, and the need to spend time and resources on hiring and training replacements. Additionally, when a talented employee leaves, they may take valuable knowledge and expertise with them, which can negatively impact the business’s operations and competitiveness.

#Quinn
Because… then you have the next extreme business cost and that is employee onboarding. Which for every new employee is about 3 months.
#ChatGPT

Yes, employee onboarding is another significant cost for businesses. It involves the time and resources spent in training and integrating a new employee into the company culture, as well as the costs associated with any necessary equipment or software. According to a 2019 survey by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the average cost-per-hire for companies is $4,425 and the average time-to-fill is 36 days. Additionally, a study by Glassdoor found that companies with a strong onboarding process improve employee retention by 82%.

#Quinn
So sub-par management increases costs in prime talent turn over and onboarding which means that business has 0 dollars for innovation.
#ChatGPT

That’s correct. Sub-par management can lead to high turnover rates, which in turn increases onboarding costs for new employees. This can result in a lack of resources and funding for innovation, ultimately leading to a decline in the company’s overall success and competitiveness. Additionally, employee morale and motivation can suffer under sub-par management, leading to a decrease in productivity and overall quality of work.

#Quinn
So it is important for the business to make sure they have quality management who ensures employees needs are met in a way where they don’t have to beg for a raise when they are also producing profits for the company.
#ChatGPT

Yes, that’s correct. Quality management is key to ensuring employee satisfaction and retention, which in turn reduces costs associated with turnover and onboarding. When employees feel valued and their needs are being met, they are more likely to stay with the company, work harder, and produce better results. This creates a positive cycle where the business can invest more in innovation and growth, leading to increased profits and success. On the other hand, sub-par management can lead to a negative cycle of turnover, high costs, and decreased productivity, which can harm the company’s bottom line and even lead to its failure.

#Quinn
In a business who is the better manager:
1. The Manager that forces his talent to ask for more money?
2. The Manager who noticed the talent is performing and offers them more money?

Who is a better manager.

#ChatGPT

The manager who notices that the talent is performing and offers them more money is the better manager. This manager is proactive and values the contribution of their employees, and recognizes their worth to the company. By offering more money, this manager is showing that they are willing to invest in their employees and keep them motivated and engaged in their work. On the other hand, the manager who forces their talent to ask for more money is not as proactive and may not be as aware of the contributions their employees are making. This approach can create unnecessary tension between the employee and the manager and may make the employee feel undervalued.

#Quinn
Because at the end of the day compliments only go so far… people love daily compliments, but when that pay check comes in they need to be able to live the quality of life that is associated with their skillset.
#ChatGPT

That’s a good point. While compliments and recognition can be motivating and boost employee morale, ultimately, compensation and benefits are critical to ensuring employees feel valued and fairly compensated for their skills and contributions. Therefore, a manager who proactively recognizes an employee’s performance and offers them more money is likely a better manager in terms of retaining top talent and ensuring they feel appreciated and motivated to continue performing at a high level.

#Quinn
Do employees want to live in little apartments with a manager who compliments them and doesn’t pay well, or would they rather have compliments with a paycheck that matches those compliments.
#ChatGPT

Most employees would likely prefer compliments with a paycheck that matches those compliments. While positive feedback and recognition are important, employees ultimately need to be able to support themselves and their families, and fair compensation is a critical part of that. A manager who only provides compliments but doesn’t compensate fairly may lead to resentment and low morale among employees.

#Quinn
When a company complients and employee and then does not compensate in a way that matches the compliments it only goes so far before the employee feels taken advantage of.
#ChatGPT

Yes, that’s true. While compliments and recognition are important for employee morale and job satisfaction, compensation is ultimately the primary reason why people work. Employees need to feel that they are being fairly compensated for their time, effort, and skills. If the company is not paying their employees what they are worth, or what is fair market value for their position and experience, it can lead to frustration, resentment, and eventually turnover. A company needs to strike a balance between compliments and compensation to ensure that employees feel valued and motivated to perform at their best.
