I hear lots of guys complaining all the time about companies not being loyal to employees
The big one I hear is replacing them with lower paid workers.
To my mind this is a 2 way street- loyalty begets loyalty.
Let say I was a small business and I hired one sales guy, paid a decent but not large wage and was working this guy up the ladder.
I send him to trade shows and am planning on spending education money to grow him over time.
The someone else offers him a job and the guy doesn't so much as sit down to talk about it with me after I spend all the money training him and getting him up and going in the field - he just takes the other job and leaves me high and dry.
The small business owner takes risk and sweats into the guy to get him up to speed and train him-
Should there be any loyalty to an employer who gave you a break?
Curious what the peanut gallery has to say here.
In my experience everyone wants it- but very few give it to begin with.
