I am currently in process of getting a very lucrative offer; one of my major considerations was that I've only been in the current position for 7 mo. Your comment was very reassuring for me. However, I have once been declined a position for not having worked enough at (then) current place, and have been asked about whether I would also leave the company in a year or so.
- GianFabien 5y agoThe question that should be asked is why are good staff worth more to the other organisation? If you are doing good work, then surely the current employer should be willing to give you a suitable pay rise that will disincentivate you from changing jobs. It does cost them more to hire a replacement but apparently that is too complicated for the average PHB to grasp.
- lotsofpulp 5y ago> The question that should be asked is why are good staff worth more to the other organisation? Because management is betting that total dollars saved from not raising everyone’s wages is more than total dollars spent on hiring and training and other costs of people going to work elsewhere. It is not too complicated for the average PHB (what is that?) to grasp. It is known that many people will not leave or shop around for higher wages, so the bet is that letting a few people go is worth it. This especially works out for employers in environments where coworkers can and are expected to take on the duties of the person that left. In that case, hiring someone new does not cost the employer much.
