One of my Co-Workers has the right philosophy. He says " I check the Bank Account on Thursday mornings, and If the amount is larger than when I went to bed Wed night, another weeks' worth of work is forthcoming!" (we are paid weekly)
I find very little wrong with his thoughts (note as folks have been listing their tenures - I just passed my 27th Anniversary at Safeway. I found I change jobs when I get bored, and I've rarely been bored here ) Jerry Whitteridge Manager Mainframe Systems & Storage Albertsons - Safeway Inc. 623 869 5523 Corporate Tieline - 85523 If you feel in control you just aren't going fast enough. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Allan Staller Sent: Monday, February 13, 2017 6:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: EXTERNAL: Re: Job Loyalty Well Said! <snip> This is "Capitalism", making money is king. Every large corporation tries to sell this "Job Loyalty" to workers, however, rest assured this is a one sided affair. They want you to be loyal. Then again, think about it. When you start your employment at any company, the first thing you agree to is "At will employment", your employment with any company is a voluntary one subject to termination by you or company at WILL, with or without cause and with or without notice....etc. Based on that doctrine, "Loyalty" has already left the building. My relation with all the employers I worked with is simple. It is a business, I perform what is expected from me, they pay me. There is no love, hate, loyalty involved. I'd rather be loyal to family, friends. </snip> ::DISCLAIMER:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
