- mistercow 13y agoYour post puzzles me as well. Just because we use the word "giving" doesn't mean that any of the connotations of that word actually apply to the situation. Employment is an arrangement of mutual benefit. In some cases an employer might give a job to a friend as a favor, when the friend is not the most qualified for the job. In any case, if someone gives you a job as a favor, they are doing it wrong.
- slantyyz 13y ago>> Employment is an arrangement of mutual benefit That's how I look at it, but I've encountered way more employers (across multiple industries, in companies of all sizes) who have the mentality of "people should feel lucky that they have a job with us". This attitude is even worse during an economic downturn.
