Headquarters accounting: this is a department with an extremely high turnover rate; it goes through a complete round of replacements. Several overseas plant managers also leave after roughly half a year, so various positions are frequently open.
I often see managers attend meetings with the executive team and have their subordinates give presentations and answer questions while they quietly listen on the side. In that case, the subordinates might as well be the managers.
Being a manager is not that simple. If you do not understand something, you should study it properly, and you should also work on your communication skills. A person who has something to teach others can be called a manager—not someone who only knows how to use tools such as performance ratings and termination. After commuting such a long way to work every day, all you do is nitpick unimportant details.
In such a short time, the department has already gone through one or two dozen employees, while the managers seem to remain the same. Is there something wrong with all the employees being hired, or is there something wrong with the managers?
If the department cannot retain its own staff, how can it properly manage the overseas accounting departments?
Without a certain level of vision and professional expertise, it is impossible to retain good talent or help the executive team make sound decisions.
Making the group profitable is a basic responsibility. If you cannot do this well, you are not suited for a management position.
The HR staff have it tough enough already, yet they still have to help look for people everywhere. Every year, colleagues have new faces; I have never seen an accounting department with such a high turnover rate.
It really is not worth wasting time here!
