12 Things That Your Employees Don’t Like About You Special Report From: EasySmallBusinessHR.com

In my role as an employee relations consultant for both supervisors and employees at various companies, I’ve met with scores of workers who have voiced a litany of concerns about the things that they don’t like about their managers. The goal of this list below is not to pass judgment but, to make supervisors more aware of employee perceptions; giving those managers who may identify with the concerns expressed an opportunity to make changes over time. Some of the most common complaints that employees have leveled against their supervisors: 1. Regularly showing preferential treatment to some employees over others 2. Micromanager; no faith in the employee’s ability to perform the job 3. Supervisors who don’t have an understanding the work that they do and the daily challenges that they face

Lack of acknowledgement or praise for special accomplishments on the job 9. Not working as hard as they do, (not in the office, always in meetings) 10.
