Great poss with pristine principles is absolutely most important for any rooky.

Good word! The value of a great boss coupled with the knowledge that the company was fine before you is a great motivator to take care of your mental health. I’ve long been a proponent of a positive-but-adversarial relationship with my employer. We’re making an exchange of my expertise for their money. Our interests are fundamentally opposed to each other - I’d like more money for less of my time, and they’d like the opposite. That relationship can still be positive and healthy, but we must each realize that that our arrangement is fundamentally temporary. It will, counterintuitively, be less temporary if my employer is interested in my long term development. Develop employees so they can leave you; treat them in such a way that they won’t want to.

Lessons I learned the hard way (by not following them). These are good tips.

HR Professionals and Senior Leaders…Are these hard truths or strategies employees are already leveraging? Although I am not a fan of point #3, I do understand the strategy behind it. In my executive coaching experience, I’ve observed that companies often make this desirable because they would rather hire a new employee at a significantly higher salary than raise the existing salary by the same amount. However, loyalty needs to be a two-way street. While employees are often expected to be loyal, companies must also demonstrate loyalty to their employees by recognizing and rewarding their dedication. This mutual loyalty can build a more resilient and committed team, fostering a thriving work culture and retaining top talent in the long run.

Some good stuff here. I used to disagree with hopping and used to think that loyalty to a company was reciprocated until I was shown in a powerful and painful manner that isn’t the case. That’s not to say there aren’t some companies out there that’re different but I haven’t seen it yet. Regarding company vs manager, I’ve seen a great study with a bottom line showing that people don’t leave bad companies, they leave bad bosses. Employment should be mutually beneficial, an employee shouldn’t complain about pay and do nothing else, either look and see if it’s as bad as it looks/feels or get other skills to make changes at the current or a different employer.

Helpful to know and get a reality check.
