Must be a good day for CNN Money. Another article caught my attention. I’ve been reading Anne Fisher for a few years now and her latest article is really thought provoking. A few choice quotes from the article:
- Another banker, Steven in Indiana, has worked for 11 companies since 1979. He wrote, “I consider myself a loyal employee, which I define as working hard for your employer, being an advocate for them and speaking well of them – even after you are gone and working for a competitor.”
- If the new loyalty is short-term, it’s also much more of a two-way street. “Career-wise, I know I’ve been at my current job too long. But I stay because, even when the workload is heavy and budgets get tight, my boss is careful to involve, encourage and reward me,” wrote a 20-something named Dana. “The day I quit getting that is the day I dust off my resume.”
- Vinnie, at a New York investment bank, wrote that he turned down an offer for a job that would have paid 30 percent more because, unlike his current employer, the other company didn’t allow telecommuting. “Employee loyalty exists,” he wrote, “but it depends on what the company is willing to do for its employees.”
