b'I hope everyone had a Fantastic week, a productive week and a prosperous week so far! Today I\\u2019d like to talk about Longevity, loyalty, settling in, I\\u2019m not sure what to call it but basically discuss the, what appears to be the trend of hopping from job to job. We\\u2019ll have Rodrigo here with us today as well, if you remember he is a Regional Facilities Manager for a large sourcing company and has several Managers and Supervisors working with him at quite a few different locations. In earlier Episodes, we\\u2019ve talked about how to build our Resumes and the different approaches we can use constructing them & how to prepare for the Phone Interview. We learned its importance and how to use it to get that valuable Face to Face sit down & prove to - or convince our Recruiter that we\\u2019re the right person for the job. After visiting with a few of our guest I think we should have a pretty good Idea of the different positions, what they entail and a few things we should consider about each of them. And you can always check in on our website warehouseandoperationsasacareer.com and catch those previous episodes if you may have missed one or two.
\\nHow have you been lately Rodrigo and Welcome back to WAOC!
\\nRodrigo and I were talking about turn over and several positions he was looking to fill recently and I mentioned what I felt like was a trend I am seeing of people accepting a position with a new company and only spending a few hours or a couple of days on the job and just quit showing up or No Call No Showing one day. I think everyone knows how I feel about the importance of a good strong Orientation and Welcoming is to a new employee and how it can kind of help us settle in with a new job. Now of course I feel just as strongly that even if our company is lacking a bit in their orientation and welcoming arena we as Employees can help them along by asking questions and participating in our training. I mean honestly, we want this job, applied and accepted it. I hope we\\u2019ve researched a bit about the company & chose them because what they are offering matches our goals both short and long term and we believe this position has some career potential!
\\nDo you think us being hesitant with asking questions and talking openly with our Supervisors could be contributing to any of this turn over Rodrigo?
\\nHow do we change that or those perceptions?
\\nI think you\\u2019ve made some very good points, I know I probably bring up Participation too often, but I feel that\\u2019s really the word I should be using. I mean we spend more time focused on our jobs than any other single situation hour upon hour and we participate with our family & our friends in every situation and in every conversation, it\\u2019s so easy to do the same with work, and we\\u2019re going to need to if our goal is to keep advancing and settling into a career. And I feel participating is so easy, it\\u2019s just talking about and to things we\\u2019re really good at, it\\u2019s just taking it to the next level. Startup meetings are easy to speak to & we understand productivity inside out, it\\u2019s how we make our money. Keywords are easily integrated into conversations with our management teams and we\\u2019ll catch their attention by using them.
\\nDo you think I over emphasize Participation?
\\nRodrigo -
\\nYou know another thing I hear a lot or seems to upset new associates is Corrective Actions or Warning Write-ups, of course they may not always be administered correctly, but that could be our Supervisors fault and not ours. I believe we should be viewing them for what they are, we\\u2019re just being told about something we may have misunderstood or maybe wasn\\u2019t even explained to us correctly, it\\u2019s just about something we need to be doing differently. All too many times I afraid there viewed as getting wacked with a big stick instead of a simple conversation, all that\\u2019s happening is that conversation is being documented. I think we should be using them to our advantage....'
