More Money Won’t Fix a Bad Workplace

Why does it take a resignation letter for a company to finally recognize an employee’s value? And if that employee stays for more money, has anything really changed? In this episode of The 3PX Show, Steve and Wayne unpack the conversation sparked by Steve’s viral LinkedIn post about employee counteroffers—and why so many responses were about feeling ignored, unheard, and unappreciated. They discuss the warning signs leaders miss before someone quits, how workplace culture follows employees home, and why retention starts long before a resignation lands on your desk. They also share personal stories about choosing culture over compensation and practical ways to help people feel valued today. In this episode: • Why more money doesn’t repair broken trust • How to spot disengagement before employees leave • The hidden costs of turnover and poor onboarding • What a company’s spending reveals about its real values • How to maintain a strong culture as your company grows • A simple challenge: identify three people who deserve to hear your appreciation Who helped you feel valued at work—and what did they do?
