After 3 months on the job, the employee discovers that there are disagreements with his supervisor's values, management style, work objectives, and work style. Perhaps things promised during the interview turned out to be fairy tales. The employee may also feel insecure about the management of the company due to these factors especially when seeing and hearing other colleagues experiencing the same doubts, insecurities and so on.

Possible Reason: Salary
After a year of performing the job(s), the employee has managed to accrue certain level of contributions, networks, and resources and wants to consider whether the pay is now equal to what is paid. This is compounded by the fact that throughout the year, the employee has witnessed the company taking a number of cost-cutting measures and is justified if he questions his worth to the company.

Possible Reason: Professional Development
After 3 years, garnering a certain level of experience, seniority, ability, and possibly salary, it is natural for the employee to question whether it is beneficial to remain with the same company. Factors such as future career development (upskilling, professional advancement, increment, etc) will spark a soul-searching process, wondering if there are better opportunities elsewhere.

Personal and professional growth may be stunted, as many companies tend to take their older employees for granted, forgetting to promote or show better appreciation for the many years of contributions. It is also likely that the employee may also hunger for a change in environment, fueled by the desire to explore and see "what else is out there", and coupled by numerous approaches by headhunters seeking to poach him/ her for the same reason. There is great potential for a big jump in the career ladder as well as income, since the new employer would shower the employee with many great benefits in order to persuade the abandonment of the current employment.
Almost everyone seeks a form of employment for the income it brings, for the sake of self-preservation and survival for the family. A greater income will give the employee better purchasing power and perhaps, a better lifestyle. Do we agree??
