Employees Who Stay In Companies Longer Than Two Years Get Paid 50% Less

Many employees today are part-time or temporary. What I have noted is Management continues to see them in the same light they would a full-time employee. Companies have failed terribly in that respect.

People are not interchangeable. Character counts. In some companies, nobody much cares about the quality of the product going out the door, and they actually coerce employees to pass product with substandard quality. I knew an outfit that claimed cGMP compliance that would re-run analyses 15 times to finally get one that would pass. Testing into compliance...is fraudulent.

Some people will cave to pressure, some will not.

I watched a guy who was responsible for flashpoint test of reaction vessel rinsings. Most of the other technicians required about 4 dilutions to read the point where the organics could go down the sewers without being a fire hazards, but David's samples ALWAYS passed on the first try! Some dark night, the sewers of Dayton will explode.

Character, reliability, honesty, knowledge...it all counts.

I don’t think it’s a workable model. I think they are being pushed into it by the idiotic policies of the Federal Government. Just one more of the “unintended consequences”.

Shadowstats is worthwhile. They put things in the 5-6% range.

Even after they fire you.

Curiously, they still expect loyalty.

You're fired. We'll give you some money if you sign this 10 year non-compete contract.

Right. It's utter B.S. I stayed at a consulting firm for a whopping three months before I decided I wanted to get out of that corporate, political environment. They expect you to have loyalty but don't really care about you beyond your being a cog in the machine. I was reading another article about this same thing, and they recommended using other job offers to negotiate a higher salary at your current job. But that's a terrible idea--and for precisely the reason you mentioned: they want loyalty, NOT people looking to change jobs every single year. If you're going to leave (and you should if your workplace sucks), just go, man.
