As soon as companies are loyal to their employee, I will be loyal to them.
Work is a simple contract. I give time. I get money. Period.
The company will not hesitate to throw me under the bus if it can bring more money, and I do not see why I should be more considerate toward them ?
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoPerhaps then, you should consider looking to work for a company that will be loyal to you. :)
- CryptoFascist 9y agoUnless your family owns the company, no such thing exists.
- talmand 9y agoHow does one determine such a thing?
- coldtea 9y agoWell, when the company owners share their non-re-invested profits with the employee, we can talk about that...
- dexterdog 9y agoAnd when the company invests his own money in the company we can talk about that.
- moriarty-s3a 9y agoI have worked or consulted for a few that went too far the other way and it wasn't that great either. If the company is too loyal, then it can create a corrosive environment because good employees sometimes leave for reasons unrelated to the employee-business relationship, family, retirement, health, etc. The bad ones seem to never leave, though. Honestly, I would rather work somewhere that is willing to get rid of useless and/or corrosive employees than somewhere that refuses to do so out of misguided loyalty.
- pm90 9y agoThis is sooo true. Its very easy for bad apples to abuse systems put in place to give employees stability... Its a strange problem I guess. Systems are put in place to keep good employees around but are abused by bad ones. Then those systems are thrown out and everyone suffers.
- laughfactory 9y agoI've never seen a loyal company. I'm not even sure what that would look like.
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoWow. I managed a good number of downvotes for even suggesting they exist. I can say of a previous employer, all of the senior management took pay cuts before impacting the rest of us in a downturn. When my department did have to reduce by a person (I was the obvious choice to downsize), the entire (small) department, including my boss, took a furlough day instead. (Obviously, I started looking for new offers at this point, but I was never unemployed due to this.) Love that company. Great people. I think a lot of people here may have experience with two types of terrible corporate environments: Faceless entity behemoths and cutthroat startups. There's a whole realm of small to medium traditional businesses out there where the owner knows everyone personally, and actually cares about the people who works for them.
