A teammate who always showed up, delivered, and supported everyone just… stopped coming to meetings.
No announcement. No goodbye. Just gone.
It hit me harder than I expected.
We talk a lot about retention, but not enough about the quiet ways people check out long before they leave.
What are the signs you watch for—and how do you respond?

Interesting comments anyone?

When employees get quiet, start taking a lot of time off, stop being involved-those are the signs they are not happy with the culture or management.

The response to any of these signs should be to reassess culture. Guage your meetings-is there any positivity in the dialogue or is it more of management force feeding verbiage of negativity. Look at their facial expressions, are they smiling or do they have a blank stare. Do they have a platform to share their ideas or are they not allowed to.

I had someone like that too, I felt like he clocked out of work mentally a few weeks before. Just wouldn’t put the effort in like we all did and would leave earlier. The biggest thing was him showing up to a suit at work as he had a job interview after his shift!

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
