You have extremely good points about my article. My thoughts on your points: 1) The article was specifically written by me (CEO of my small business) for my top managers, so while a big Fortune 500 company will never act this way - I can make sure my company does treat the employee in this fashion. 2) Companies absolutely should respond to changing market conditions and often this will mean that certain roles go away while new ones emerge. However, as CEO of my company I can make decisions that are not optimized for profit such as to keep a great employee and retrain them into a new position or at least to continue paying them till they find a similar position. 3) True - If I did this for ALL positions the company would fail to keep up with the market. However, if the company does this with the top 5% of people, those people will likely perform even in different roles as market needs evolve.
