People should know that know job is permanent and plan accordingly. Do you really expect to work at one company the rest of your career and get a gold watch and a pension ?
- fragmede 3y agoIt's worth noting that. Sweden, where Spotify is based, still does that whole pension thing, so culturally, relatively, actually yes.
- fisf 3y agoThat is entirely correct. But it also implies that employees need to price that uncertainty into their salary demands.
- scarface_74 3y agoExactly
- HDThoreaun 3y agoDo they not? American salaries sire much higher than european ones with more job security for example.
- KptMarchewa 3y agoYou're stating obvious things.
- checkyoursudo 3y agoBut why shouldn't we expect to be able to work for one company and earn a gold watch (at some anniversary date, I guess?) and a pension? It used to work that way. Why not now? It worked that way for my grandpa. It looked like it was going to work that way for my dad, until the corporate world did its huge pension rug-pulls. But it could still work that way. I have a pension now (Sweden). My wife has one (Germany). You could, too.
- google234123 3y agoI wonder how pensions will work when there is 1 worker for every 2-3 retirees (maybe 1 personal on Social welfare too)
- scarface_74 3y agoA true “pension” should invest enough money in the present where the future value is enough to suppport today’s workers when they retire. Modern government pensions are Ponzi schemes.
