I found the way you chose to frame this to be a bit disturbing. You framed the employer as a passive watcher of a process where they invest zero and provides zero input, except for the part where they feel entitled to terminate staff for the sole sin of not blossoming greatness in the vast desert of growth that was your creation.
How about this: if what you seek is growth and expertise, why not explicitly nurture that in the environment you create?

- psim1 4y agoI'm sorry I wrote it in such a way to give you that idea. I fully agree with "explicitly nurture [growth and expertise] in the environment you create."
