Who Gives A Duck

Who Gives a Duck?

Something is wrong at work.
It's time someone proved it.

Five questions. Completely anonymous. Two minutes.
For the first time someone's actually listening.

Every day, millions of people absorb the latest restructure, smile through the all-hands and say they're fine. They're not fine. They've just learned that nobody's really asking.

WHY A DUCK?

The duck is everyone who can't speak up.

Squeezed. Pushed around. Bobbing along on whatever current they’re given. Bright on the outside. Hollow inside. And completely, utterly silent unless someone notices.

 

The nurse. The contact centre worker. The teacher. The paramedic. The person three desks from you who said “I’m fine” this morning and absolutely wasn’t.

 

The duck can’t speak. You can. Give it a voice.

WHO’S BEHIND THIS

We're The Outlier Group.
Outlier by name. Here for the outliers everywhere.

We started because we got sick of watching work happen to people instead of with them.

Burnout is quietly rising and this is one of the reasons. Good humans are turning up every day, absorbing everything that gets thrown at them and quietly wondering if anyone at the top actually.gives.a.duck.

 

Spoiler: not enough of them do, but this isn’t always their fault.

 

We really do give a duck, so our goal is to give everyone a voice.  We are asking these questions to demonstrate that the way business is done today needs to change.  This is a people powered movement.

MOVEMENT PROGRESS

People are giving a duck.

“Project got made redundant. I still have a job but no work! Feels like I’ll be made redundant next.”

“I’m burnt out and have lost my sense of purpose and direction at work. My new manager is good but everyone above doesn’t give a duck.”

“I took an intuitive to help the team grow and expand our knowledge and then had all the other side tasks from the team dumped on me because they were related.”

“Everyone is done! Where does it lead to?”

“I’m overworked and underappreciated.”

“I want out of my job, it’s so demoralising and isolating. Pay is amazing, but fulfilment isn’t there. It’s not me, and I don’t want to work in this corporate bullshittery anymore.”

“Because I am doneeee. No one hears me.”

“People. Stewarding the potential of people”

“I’m 26, and to think this is going to be the work culture and expectations for the next 50 years that I’ll have to work makes me genuinely sick at the thought. Something’s gotta change – I won’t last in this for another 50 years until I can retire”

“The restructures across orgs for the sake of offshoring are concerning. The way leadership talk about onshore workers as disposable, and offshore as non-human, is even more concerning. I like my role but I’m jaded after being on my third org post restructures or environmental changes due to restructures.”

“I am exhausted. I am disillusioned. I feel like there is no point trying at work anymore because management is determined to ignore anyone who raises an issue or talks realistically about the current situation. There is not a single person out of the hundred or so that I talk to or know who is ok. Everyone is at a breaking point, and no one cares.”

Some of what people share here is heavy. If work – or life – is getting on top of you right now, please reach out to Lifeline on 13 11 14 (in Australia) or go to findahelpline.com wherever you are.
