I recently attended an event about the best businesses to work for in that city. The speaker made a comment how nowadays certain employees will switch jobs over a dollar more, making the point that these type of employees are not loyal. He was an old politician like speaker, you get the point.
Im here to say yes, indeed we are not loyal just like how your company is not and was never loyal. In todays market and competition, companies chase a dollar even if it meant laying off thousands of employees per quarter. You know how to play the game, how to play the government, how to play the taxes, how to play the law and lawsuits, how to maneuver and adapt in this economy. We are simply players out on the field at the right time, right place, and at any point we’re taken out or replaced as part of your strategy. Except, you don’t look as bad when you frequently update your strategy vs when us the employees do. We’re simply viewed as not loyal or risky investment.
