There is a bit of truth here. Toxic culture and out of touch management will make people walk as well.
Thing is, there might just be a wad of cash big enough to make me put up with that against my health interests.
Fuck ping pong tables though. No one left a company because they didn't have enough fucking table sports. If you think they are then you are the problem. Exit interview your own fucking arse.
"Man, my job pays horribly and the benefits barely cover anything, but they have a ping-pong table so it's honestly a tough call."
I struggle to understand how someone could seriously write something like that question without a lack of self-awareness so dire that a walk to the kitchen would come with a near-death experience. It just can't be real.
I think the truth is that it assuming it's the latter may not be enough. But the first two are even less likely. Additional responsibilities WITHOUT a raise is very, very unlikely to be what anyone was waiting for to stick around.
As a professional in this field, top reasons would be...
Edit: I should also point out we have about half a dozen ping-pong tables scattered around my work and our turnover figures were bang on average for annual benchmarking against the sector. I consider the average too high, though, and will be targeting better retention over this year. We'll need at least double the amount of ping-pong tables.
I don't see pizza party or ping pong table on that list so you're obviously not a professional.
A real professional knows employees want pizza parties instead of higher pay and they want more responsibilities with the same pay!
:P
None of these answers is correct, it's simply not a multiple choice question.
For some the pay is important, others need a bit of distraction like a ping pong table.
Everybody has their own needs, the biggest HR loser is the one that fits all employees in the same square.
others need a bit of distraction like a ping pong table.
That is never the answer. If your business isn't retaining people because the party culture isn't party enough...you've got way bigger problems...and it's probably leadership.
So, a fruit basket?
A ping pong table? What for? So HR can punish you when you use it?
seriously，who has time to use a ping pong table at work? It's like a decoration to remind you you're not having fun.
I had this argument with a boomer HR consultant and she just doubled down, even though I explained that neither I nor my colleagues, give two hoots about fussball or team building. Our position is a resounding "fuck you pay me" but oh no - boomer knows best.
Questions like these make me wonder if large capitalists actually live in an alternate universe but through some time and space shenanigans they are still here. There's just no way they can make this type of shit up (assuming it's a real question) without being delusional or sadistic.
I've never left a company because of money. I have left because the bullshit they put me through wasn't worth the money. That's not just being funny either. I'm okay with being under-compensated if the environment is positive, managers are friendly and flexible, and it actually feels like our sister teams have similar goals and we're not working against each other.
I agree with this, with a caveat. I'm ok with being underpaid compared to industry standard, to a certain extent. However, I'm not ok with being underpaid compared to other colleagues doing similar work for the same employer.
Never quit a job over lack of ping pong tables.
Unless of course your job is to be a ping pong ball tester, in which case you may not be getting supported with the necessary tools to perform your job successfully.
Yeah, often when an employee leaves it's about the lack of ping-pong table.
This is true but still not the right answer... it's not always about the money
IT'S ABOUT THE METS BABY, LET'S GO METS, GONNA GET A HOMERUN, LOVE THE METS! LET'S GO METS!
perfectly maps to startups selling working at a startup as "we're a family", "you're a googler", etc. give them a ping pong table and free beer on fridays and you can pay considerably less.
How many of these companies think employees are going to say it's about the money during an exit interview? Usually if you agree to an exit interview it's to be diplomatic and not burn your bridges. You're not going to tell the truth, you're going to say what they want to hear.
I was abundantly clear that I was leaving for the money. They countered with a salary that was pretty much identical, but I wasn't shy about telling hr that it shouldn't take me getting another offer to convince them that I was worth paying market rates for.
No bridges burned, they've reached out twice now to see if I'd come back and the salary is now pretty competitive but I'm in a good spot and not interested in leaving.
You can be honest and diplomatic....if you try.
It's true that it's not always about the money, but it's probably never about a ping pong table
Well, hypothetical speaking, if there were two completely absolutely identical jobs, but the one had a ping pong table. I might choose the one without and ask them to get a Foosball table, since I'm no good at ping pong.
This is the reason why but never the reason I give. If I make employers think at any time that I focus too much on the money, they will see me as a troublemaker. Instead, I come up with some bullshit excuse such as medical reasons and the smart employers will work it out on their own.
? We are all in it for the money. How is that being a trouble maker? Money is a motivator and should be used to incentivize performance.
I thought this was chatgpt for a second because I didn't want to believe anyone but ai could be this tone deaf. then I remembered humans and got depressed
Was "A ping pong table and enough free time in my schedule to actually use it for half an hour on a quiet day without the area manager coming in and demanding that we get back to work" too long?
Ill stay at an average paying job with a great culture, over a shitty culture and more money. But only to a point.
"Usually, in our narrow and sad description of what an employee wants, it's not money. Clearly it's more related to the lack of ping-pong tables and extra responsibilities." 🤡
These people have absolutely forgotten what it means to be an employee.
Born rich they were never an employee
I started out with millions of dollars and look at me now. I've pulled myself by my boots straps I have. Read my book, it's it's called "How To Get Rich And Be A Pretentious Dipshit". It is self-published and available on my website. At me on LinkedIn
Chants for your next strike action:
Yeah, we're the fucking generation that can't afford our own living, but have you tried giving us a ping-pong table?
How about giving them a raise in pay, and if they really want it, they can buy the ping-pong table out of their own pocket flips desk
Most people quit because of bad bosses. I know I have...
I doubt most people leave because of a lack of ping-pong table.
As a capitalist I don't understand why it wouldn't be about the money
In my experience, they're thinking 20-30 cents per hour. And yah, that's never enough to change someone's mind. 20-30% that could make a difference, but it's way too much for them to ever concider.
Middle of the road: pay your employees in ping pong tables, increase monthly ping pong table quota.
Capitalism stops when it comes to salary. Then it's all about culture and warm fuzzy feelings. Those are the only incentives an employee needs.
Wild. They both "might" help. They both cost the company money. They should both be correct.

Please stop posting the same thing in different communities. It was obnoxious on Reddit and it is obnoxious on here too.
Just because you follow overlapping communities doesn't mean everybody else does. As long as the post follows the community policies, there's no problem with posting the same content to multiple appropriately-themed communities.
