Good pay. PTO is generous. Tuition assistance. Lots of employee resource groups.

This is the hardest part for managers: almost no training before you're expected to perform the job.

Some teams do help train, but it's not a requirement. Many managers just start out doing the job without knowing how.

Upper managers can be inflexible regarding what works best for different employees. People who do the best work are rewarded with more messes to fix.

There's no exchange of knowledge from the workforce that is aging out of the company to the new workforce, so the next generation has less help. The records continue to be more confusing, and they are expected to do much more.

Expecting high year-over-year results without ensuring your existing managers provide a solid foundation of records, development, and useful, applicable knowledge for your newer managers will make your newer labor force feel burnt out and look for other options. The expectation is for all of us to do more with less.
