Loyalty is dead in the workplace. Companies will dump you in a flash
unless they have an immediate need, and employees should be ready to take
any better offer which comes along. I coined a phrase many years ago "No
company will pay you as much to STAY as another will pay you to GO".
Reality is that the business universe has changed so much just since
2007 that anyone in ANY business or employee will have to re-invent
themselves every few years, or become obsolete. Thomas L. Friedman has some
fascinating information about this, and what we need to do to survive. I
really like his suggestion that all education costs be tax deductible.
