An experienced manager would know that is how the game is played and act accordingly. Don't get emotionally attached to any work relationships. It's transactional, keep that in mind.
- andrewlgood 2y agoAgreed. Shouldn’t employees behave/feel the same way?
- bbqfog 2y agoAbsolutely.
- al_borland 2y agoThis mentality is why people don’t get promoted internally, which leads to the job hoping in the first place. Fix this and a lot of the job hoping problem goes away.
- bbqfog 2y agoJob hopping is not a problem, it's how you get ahead quickly.
- al_borland 2y agoYou just described the symptom of a problem.
- bbqfog 2y agoWell yeah, the problem is capitalism. The least you can do is try to tilt the scale in your favor as much as possible. That’s absolutely what capital is doing all the time.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoMonetarily, sure. But that's because companies are so hesitant to give raises but love to hire new people.
- mym1990 2y agoI think there is always going to be a middle ground. We are not robots and if the people I work with are a pleasure to be around and work with, there is a natural connection there that can be labeled "emotional" I guess, but it is very much in the moment for me. I want my manager to be somewhat invested in my success, and I somewhat reciprocate that. Additionally, while the business is transactional, it is almost always the case that the employer has more information than you, making it an uphill battle in the first place.
