v long term worker

xiaodingdung SG

lst time i c workers wk for ten over yrs...i really admired their loyalty.., Shocked

Gordonator SG

many in my company also worked for 10+ over years. longest being 16 years.

Wanda SG

Some in my co worked over 20 yrs...coz they can't survive elsewhere...i think.

Some work consultants will tell you that they will never look at ppl who work so long at one co.

Fatum SG

eh ? ... why ? ... please explain ... Confused

Wanda SG

The consultants see such workers as stagnant in their comfort zone, not being adaptable, not improving themselves with new challenges, and probably with a certain fixed mindset.

So much for loyalty. Confused

charlize SG

Yeah.

If you see any long term employees who have been with the same company for 10 or more years, chances are, they will not be able to survive at other companies. Since they are already "kings" and "queens" at the present company, why leave to become a "servant" at another?

Oh yes, I have seen these people around.

Oh yes. Laughing

Fatum SG

ah ......

so one should quit for bigger things every few years eh ... Confused

Razz

DriftingGuy SG

Its a very different scenario if the v long time workers happen to be managers Laughing

hudax1 SG

I am not sure. Why are people staying there so long, perhaps what ah?

Gordonator SG

in goverment sector, they make sure those high managers don't hold on their position for too long. they will make them step down or retire so as to make way for others to take over. the one forced to step down will either come back as advisor or take his retirement money and shake leg at home.
