Tellers

The employees are dropping like flies at the credit union. It's gotten so bad at the other branch in Juneau that they've pulled people from accounting to work the "front line." Even the President and CEO pulled a teller drawer. And today their most experienced teller put in his two weeks. I think they've lost 5 or 6 people in a little over a month. We're now offering referral and signing bonuses for new employees. Where was that when I applied?

At my branch we went from 5 employees to 3 in a week. So I'm the head teller of all two of us. The other teller is going to be moving soon, but we were finally able to hire a new person today. So I'll be the seasoned veteran having been there a whole 5 months.

Geez, sounds like lots of job openings. Maybe you can get a raise for staying on. any real reason for the mass departure?

Tell them you want a belated signing bonus or you quit! Well, maybe an ultimatum isn't the way to go.

I plan on asking for a raise. The little one I got when I was promoted doesn't correspond with the responsibility and additional work I took on.

I was what Frank was saying "any real reason for the mass departure." Usually not a good sign.

Springtime I guess. Lots of summer jobs. I was told something similar happened May '06. Only it was a walkout. 6 or 7 people left on the same day.
