The below video while delivered with no small amount of satire and primarily focused on the video game industry gives some solid guidance for employees in general, and any employers that suffer from poor retainment of staff. For Employees: ● Scrutinize for added responsibilities when receiving a pay increase, if it comes with no change in duties then your employer is trying to reward you with what they think your worth. If the pay comes with added duties be aware you are being given a loan your employer will expect a return on. ● It pays to be a recognizable asset in companies with a culture of “churn”, their less likely to let go of essential, recognizable talents during tough times. ● Always have a metaphorical suitcase packed just in case, ready to move to a place where your skills are valued if you are being undervalued. For employers: ● If constant firings are the norm, reassess your hiring practices and spending habits. Standards and organizational culture may need rethinking. ● High turnover rates may indicate a "rat race" environment. Understand your workforce, avoid overbearing expectations. ● Don't be out of touch. Recognize the value of those with boots on the ground—employees who understand the day-to-day intricacies of the workplace and industry.

🔥 Remembering the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire 🔥 Today marks the 113th anniversary of the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, a dark chapter in American history that unfolded on March 25, 1911, in New York City. This devastating event claimed the lives of 146 workers, predominantly young immigrant women. https://buff.ly/3TMZ97X Situated in the Asch Building in Greenwich Village, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory became the site of horror as fire broke out on the eighth floor, swiftly engulfing the building. The appalling working conditions, overcrowding, and locked doors prevented many workers from escaping, leading to unimaginable loss of life. However, out of this tragedy emerged a rallying cry for change. The outcry sparked significant reforms in labor laws and workplace safety regulations, reshaping the landscape of labor rights in the United States. Today, as we reflect on this somber anniversary, let us honor the memory of those who perished in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Their sacrifice serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle for workplace safety, labor rights, and social justice. May their legacy inspire us to continue fighting for a world where every worker is valued, protected, and empowered. #TriangleShirtwaistFire #LaborRights #NeverForget 🔥🕊️
