The longer my career gets, the more I realize this to be true. This also has the added disadvantage that the employers take the employees lightly. In a family, the head of the family has more power than others. If employers considered an employee's duration at the company more as a contract, then they would also work harder to keep the other party satisfied with the contract. Unfortunately, the relationship is tilted in favor of the employer due to the fact that a loss of employment generally has worse consequences for the employee that for the employer.
- stephengillie 11y agoTreating an employee's duration like a contract is a terrible idea. It puts into the employer's head that the employee is just a temporary expense, which starts begging the question - just how temporary can I make this employee?

- eropple 11y agoHave you considered that most companies--especially in tech--already are doing that? They'd be stupid not to.
- stephengillie 11y agoYes, I'm certain I've worked for more than one employer who felt that way. And I've considered contract employees that way. It's what inspired me to write my comment. Of course, since I am again a contractor, I'm getting some perspective about my feelings while at my previous employer.
