"Quit Your Job and Get Big Raises" a book by Gordon Miller
My latest guilty pleasure is reading ebooks on my Galaxy Note phone. With the rubber jacket on it the device is perfect for holding and reading. I just love it.
The title of the book caught my eye and I read the book. While reading it I kept thinking how loyalty has changed. I wondered if companies or individuals have loyalty towards one another.
My conclusion is that they should not. What! It should be no surprise that loyalty has given way to skill building in the last decade. The current recession has slowed the job changing but as soon as it recovers the flood will begin.
To me it boils down to expecting from others what you do not give. A small company begins with trust and loyalty but as it grows the distance between the top and bottom grows and pretty soon can not be bridged.
I do believe that cultures can be changed and if a company starts to act positively it will be rewarded with trust and loyalty. Until then people are going to pick up new skills and sell them elsewhere. This is a vicious cycle.
Today's question is:
"Do you feel loyal to your company or are you building your skill set?"
