Mike Andes says technicians and general managers quit in their first few weeks because they expect light work like gardening, then show up to 10-12 hour shifts in blazing heat. The gap between what they imagined and what's actually required is the real reason they leave, not the work itself or their manager.
Because the number one reason why technicians and general managers leave is that there is a misalignment of expectations versus reality. And so if you're wondering why in the first 2, 3, 4 weeks of someone getting hired, they're leaving, it has almost never to do with the work that's being done or even the manager. It's almost always misaligned expectations. So they thought they were going to be pulling weeds, trimming bushes, and enjoying gardening. And then they realize that 10, 12 hours in the blazing heat doesn't feel like them, like it was when they were gardening at their house. That's a misalignment of what they expected and what the reality was.
