Most companies just don't really reward loyalty anymore.
- hypothesis 4y agoIs that what they call a “loyalty tax”?
- atemerev 4y agoWhat is it, 80s? There is no “company loyalty” since 2000s, and soon there will be no “jobs” in general. We are all contractors and mercenaries now.
- throwawaysleep 4y agoAnyone staying more than a year is loyal in my book. And plenty stay more than a year.
- JohnFen 4y agoWhich actually illustrates the "no loyalty" point. A year is nothing. Staying that long doesn't demonstrate anything. But nobody should be "loyal" to companies. Companies are certainly not "loyal" to them. To be clear, when I'm on the clock at a company, I'm all in -- they're paying me to be. But off the clock, no. And I have no problem leaving a position when it's no longer beneficial to me. And employer-employee relationship is a business deal, nothing more.
- atemerev 4y agoAs it should be.
- nibbleshifter 4y agoThere are some companies that behave like its still the 1960's, and try retain employees for the long term (a "job for life"). They are a vanishingly small minority, and usually not tech companies - but traditional companies that use technology and have in house dev teams.
