As a hiring manager, I find this hard to believe.
One doesn't have to participate in organizational tactics that favor replacing employees over negotiating the conditions that makes notions of loyalty an inherent trait of the workforce to at least acknowledge that there are questionable actors in positions of power in the employer/employee dynamic who aren't willing to make the emotional and capital investment in their people.
Brings to mind something I saw on someone's wall once "pay people well enough they'll never need to leave, and treat them well enough they'll never want to".
Our experiences aren't universal. I'm also a hiring manager, and I don't find it hard to believe at all. Very early in my career I gave two weeks notice to a job I worked at for four years, offering to train up a junior on the team. I was walked out the same day.
- cortesoft 5y agoThe part I found hard to believe is the idea that “not many places” would work to keep a good employee that was looking for work elsewhere. I don’t doubt that places exist that would immediately fire someone in this situation, I just find it hard to believe that is the majority of places.
