"The company wouldn't employ you if you weren't providing them more than you cost them."
Ah sweet summer child. Even if your 1st lvl logic would hold they would ditch you if your replacement + replacement cost was less than yours. But never mind. Companies have limited and wildly inaccurate information regarding your value and contributions. But even worse, "companies" do not make hiring/firing decisions, people do. And people have not only extreme irrational behaviors, but even when they act rational they act in their own interest, not "the company's", and the larger the company, the less causally aligned these interests are.
- smeej 4y agoAll you've said is the same thing I already said, but you spelled out the "opportunity cost" part of the equation separately, while I assumed everybody knew that was part of the consideration and didn't need to be spelled out. Obviously the entire thing has a big "in their assessment" caveat around it too. This is also* part of the problem, not anything that negates what I already said.
