Does your current or former employer have a high over turn rate by both full time and part time employees. My employer has a high turn over rate .I have a job at a bird seed plant.
Their are several temporary employees that are employed by the temporary services.
My employer uses three temporary services. In the last 27 years I had a job at this bird seed plant .I seen several employees both full time and temporary leave due to quitting,termination, and layoffs. Some have walked out during their shifts
I started on third shift which I disliked.Then I went to second.I was sent to first shift for awhile then sent back to second shift the current shift I am on.
Their are several reasons why businesses have high turn over rates .
I am interested if anyone has high turn over rates at their job or previous jobs.
If people are leaving because they are retiring, I wouldn't call it a high turnover job. There may be periods of high attrition due to retirement cycles, but that is not the same thing as a high turnover work environment. High turnover is constant churn.

Yes, it's the reasons for the turnover that are important. At my employer there have also been many retirements lately but we have a lot of people in their 60s. In my department there has been a lot of turnover in the younger staff, but it's actually a good thing. They have been promoted to higher paying positions in other departments. That's normal career progression, and it means more work for me as a manager doing hiring and training, but good for the employees. I currently have one that has been with me for 5 years, one two years, one just under a year, one 6 months, and one just hired. Each of them replaced someone who went to a higher pay job at another department in the same building.
Well, worked at mold injection plant. Most turnovers are people who just can't deal with the paperwork. A few aren't into showing up every day they do have weekend only shifts and some splits.
Seen 25-35% turnover 30-90 days, 10-20% 90-6 months and 7% a year. The record was the first year. 125% turnover. But it's dropped since then.
On a similar note, I once was recruited to a start-up, by a high pressure recruiter (I learned a lesson here) which had a high turnover rate, for the position was interviewing for. It should have been a big “red flag.”
Instead, I went through the multi-level interview process, got a good offer and accepted the offer.
After I joined the company, I knew after the first few days why this start-up was experiencing high turnover. I had a sinking feeling, the company was completely dysfunctional. Teams were pitted against each other, the product they were trying to bring to market was in disarray, the culture was full of bullies and power struggles were ongoing. A “toxic” working environment!
My company has a high turnover rate due to being a high stress, heavy workload industry. It sure is annoying. It takes months to train someone just for them to leave. And anymore it seems like people don't want to do any work. Very frustrating. This is industry wide and no way to lesson the stress or workload.
First of all, seeing "several" people leave over 27 years is not high turnover by any definition.
Not only do retirements not count -- layoffs don't count.
And to a certain extent terminations don't count. (Since they're employer initiated.)
AND we're talking about a company that has full-time AND part-time workers?
