Cry me a river, the same people who demand a long-term commitment from their employer will jump ship in an instant for 10k more after 6 months of employment. Companies are full of them.
- newswasboring 3y agoWhen a person moves to another company, the company doesn't have to move to another state and restart its social life from scratch. The person with more power, needs to take more responsibility. Holy batman, sometimes I feel like people don't even have a heart anymore.
- scarface74 3y agoIsn’t it your responsibility to weigh the pros and cons and risk for uprooting your family for more compensation? It’s business. It’s purely transactional. Why would you expect a company to “have a heart”?
- newswasboring 3y agoBecause I thought in America businesses were people. And I have been fortunate enough to work with businesses which seem like they have a heart. Consequently, I've rejected several offers to come work in America for extra pay. I think a system which is purely transactional is inferior, boring and at times immoral due to power imbalance. Society is not a computer program, businesses exist in society and they should behave like that.
- scarface74 3y agoAnd for that tradeoff, tech companies pay a lot more in America. A returning intern I mentored at $BigTech got an offer coming straight out of college that was twice the median wage in America and it’s a remote job. They save a crap ton of money every month in case things go wrong.
- LunaSea 3y agoCry me a river. Will the company have to uproot its family to find a new worker?
- bilvar 3y agoI don't understand how the convenience of the worker makes it fairer to demand loyalty but not reciprocate. Sounds entitled and self-serving.
- Eisenstein 3y agoThe reason no one shows loyalty is exactly because it is not reciprocated. Why should the employee have to be loyal when they are just a number to an HR department and the CEO will strike off their job without a second thought? You have things backwards. People used to be loyal, back when you could work at a place, grow your career, and retire with a pension. It wasn't the laborers who broke the loyalty deal.
- bilvar 3y agoThe first part of your response is just equivocation. The latter is just an assertion lacking substantial evidence.
- machinawhite 3y agoYou're delusional.
- Eisenstein 3y agoI don't know how I can provide evidence without access to JSTOR. I don't feel like spending $30/paper to come up with statistics and studies for you.
- tombert 3y agoI have access to JSTOR; which paper you want?
- mensetmanusman 3y agoThis started after the Welch acolytes in corporate America broke the employee/employer contract.
- vsareto 3y agoIf you want loyalty, hire contractors. You can't expect people (especially individuals) to act like they're in a contract without the upsides.
- bilvar 3y agoThe same goes for the employee. It’s a two-way street.
- machinawhite 3y agoAre you serious right now? You can talk to your therapist about it, noone on this earth cares about some corpos losing money or workers.
