Job-hopping and 4 causes that "shock" workers

Anphabe Company believes that many workers feel excited to receive a new job - a better position, a new environment, and expect a brighter future. However, after only a few weeks, even a few days of work, many people began to feel confused and disappointed. Things are not as they thought: other jobs are far from the description, company culture is difficult to integrate, management is not sophisticated or the working environment is toxic.

This feeling is not an uncommon phenomenon, but has been called shift shock. This is the result of a large phase difference between the employees' imagination during the recruitment process and the actual work experience after joining the organization.

The phenomenon of shift shock has been recorded as more common since the pandemic. The skyrocketing recruitment demand has caused many businesses to shorten the recruitment process, soften information or paint an ideal picture to attract candidates.

Anphabe Company lists 4 main causes of "shift shock":

described work that is not close to reality

Candidates are introduced to a position of "flexible - creative - developing", but when they start working, the job is only operational, with little initiative or creativity. Lack of transparency in the job description or excessive "color painting" during the interview process is the leading cause of initial shock for new employees.

Inappropriate organizational culture

An introvert who enters a dynamic and highly competitive environment; a person who promotes support is isolated and has little connection. When personal values are not in harmony with organizational values, the feeling of "losing space" will come very quickly - and that is the seed of shift shock.

Lack of capacity or lack of empathy in management

Many employees shared that they love their work, but cant stand the boss. The role of managers in the onboarding stage is extremely important - if they do not have communication skills, cannot create a safe psychological environment or lack the ability to guide, then employees are easily left behind, unrecognized and disconnected.

Lack of support and adaptation mechanisms

Many organizations lack a systematic onboarding process, no mentors or no companions. This has caused new employees to struggle and struggle in the new environment. When they feel no one cares and I dont belong here, they easily fall into a psychological crisis.
