There is a certain paradox in the national labor market: many firms cannot complete the staff, but at the same time many people have no work.

What changes have occurred in employment after full -scale aggression, how often do people be released because of the inadequate behavior of managers, and whether the manager’s dedication and adequate management really be more important than financial reward? Answers to these and other questions – in the material Briefly about.

“Chic maximum” became an “elementary minimum”

During the war, the weight of human life has increased significantly, and no one wants to work in the Non-stop mode, where you are only a resource and your employer is the master, believes Talentmatch director, Personnel Management Expert Natalia Slinko.
– Even for big money, a person does not want to put up with incompetent management, manipulation and constant psychological pressure in the workplace, – says the expert. – Many people willingly agree to less (but do not abuse it, because it is necessary to pay for housing and food) than to suffer from a rude attitude at work. And this is not only a worldwide trend, it is especially noticeable in our country because of increasing the importance of life, when every day can be the last.

According to Natalia Slinko, much of what was previously considered a “chic bonus”, in fact has long been a “mandatory requirement”. This “minimum” includes official salary, the opportunity to rest without permanent calls, weekends and leave to restore strength, availability of response to the work performed, open dialogue with the manager about the effectiveness, quality and further professional development. It is also important that the work is important.

According to the opinion owners of HR-Agency Bekar Consulting, Dominica Ivanova-Becar Dominic Management Specialists, To say that the cruel attitude towards employees has intensified in comparison with the pre -war time, it would not be quite correct: similar situations have happened before.

However, society is progressing, becomes more open, and now such cases are more often covered, and they are discussed more in public. However, the expert confirms that the above trends really exist, and they gradually gain momentum.

– If we look wider, we see the transformation of the human thinking paradigm and change its role in the labor market from the object to the subject, – the expert in the conversation with the correspondent said Briefly about. – Most people are already aware that work is not only a source of profit, but also a means of expression, a living space where we spend much of the time. I would say that more and more people are aware of their value.

But, continues Ivanova-Becar, there are certain circumstances. It is one thing if a person lives in a big city where there is a large selection of vacancies, and quite another is life in remote areas, provincial cities and villages. Where, obviously, the number of employers with good financial capacity is limited, and people are forced to put up, tolerate unbearable and even abusive attitude, because for various reasons are not ready for radical changes.

On the face … Expert opinions are supported by the latest study of the personnel portal, whose analysts have collected examples of real not too pleasant statements of employers. They often become for employees the border that should not be crossed.

“We have a hospital (vacation) only in emergency cases”, “shelling, chess and explosions are not a reason to be late for work”, “Determine that it is a priority for you – family or work” … Here, workers see disdain for themselves and their health, manipulation of a sense of guilt (” wars. It is important for employers to consider not only the fact of the employee’s presence at work, but also the price he pays for it, analysts believe. And do not forget: vacation is not a premium and not encouragement, but legal right and opportunity to restore strength.

“We work not for the sake of money, but for the idea” and “Why increase your salary, you live with your parents.” Employers should not be forgotten, even if the employee is very fond of their work, without adequate payment, this enthusiasm quickly disappears.

“Behind the door, the turn of those who want to your place”, “No one will hold you here.” Such phrases usually occur when the manager does not have other ways of motivation other than pressure. Where strategies and respect lacks, there is always intimidation.

From the experience of Dominica Ivanova-Becar, the aggressive style of managing the manager, which is accompanied by the transition to personal images, is one of the five most common reasons for release. Other common reasons:

• It’s dissatisfaction with the level of remuneration,
• the lack of possibility of professional growth and career development,
• negative setting in the team,
• as well as a violation of the balance between work and personal life, which leads to fatigue.

If you compare age groups, according to Ivanova-Becar, young people are more sensitive to the issues of violation of personal boundaries, they have a more pronounced request for respect, freedom, development, flexibility. For most of them, phrases like “rejoices that you have taken you at all,” causes, to put it mildly, astonishment, since the offers of working on the market are enough. And in cases where they are not heard or they fall into unhealthy conditions, they are much easier than the older generation, they decide to release.

-Speaking of industries, IT, digital and creative industry are characterized by more flexible conditions, horizontal management structure with a minimal number of corporate hierarchy levels and a healthier corporate culture,-says HR-Expert. – at enterprises in the field of mining, industries, security and defense, farms and, unfortunately, in government agencies, an authoritarian style of management is more common. There are situations where employers abuse their position if they understand that a person depends in some way – as, for example, in cases of booking for men.

– The biggest difference between what the candidate expects and what the employer can offer – in the service area: shops, cafes, various services, – said Natalia Slinko in a comment Briefly about. – For the most part, they are industries with low profitability and significant costs, so historically the salaries are low, but the work itself does not require special qualification. Often, candidates in the IT sphere, where the highest level culture is generally, is decent, but there is a rather toxic environment of the so-called hustle culture (lifestyle, where everything is aimed at achieving professional success.-Avt.). Such a culture of the organization contributes to the fatigue and depletion of employees through artificial stress created by executives.

But it cannot be said that everyone will refuse to work in such an environment, the expert continues. Usually people work and are looking for another job at the same time. Of course, they are not given to work, but perform the required minimum so that they are not released. At the same time, companies, trying to increase productivity, add even more pressure on workers, and they, in turn, are even less interested, and so in a circle. From the experience of Natalia Slinko, about 80% of workers are ready to go to another company. You can only imagine the scale of this phenomenon and motivation to work such specialists.

– Most often, the unhealthy atmosphere is created by the owners who manage themselves, but do not study and do not realize that in the labor market they compete with the global market, not just with conditional LLC on the neighboring street, – Slinko summed up. – Statistically, young people are easier to “nowhere”, and not only because it has clearer personal borders, but also because it does not have so much financial obligations.

Where to look for a job Every year, more and more work search platforms appear in the labor market. Some of them, says Ivanova-Becar, are designed for a wide audience-popular Job sites such as work.ua, rabota.ua. And some of them have their own specialization, such as Djinni, Dou for IT.

– In addition to the industry, the level of position is important, – the expert said in a conversation with a correspondent Briefly about. – For example, jobs for workers should be found on OLX, Kabanchik.ua, but the search for work for executives there will be ineffective. But there are certainly exceptions.

Regarding “office vacancies”, applicants should actively use LinkedIn, pay attention to staffing vacancies, sign up for appropriate telegrams, profile groups on social networks, platforms-such as Happy Monay and others. For greater job search efficiency, it is best to combine as many search channels as possible.

Natalia Slinko supports this opinion: you need to look for work in all available ways – the only method that works 100% just does not exist. The more a person involves the possibilities, the greater the choice will be.
