You ever taken a personal call at work? Ever spent a few extra minutes chatting with a coworker on the clock? If so, you didn’t put in 100%.
Let me take it a step further? Ever been asked to take on more responsibility without a pay raise? Ever worked for a company that asked you to work more hours than standard? Ever been passed up for a promotion when you were told it was yours? Ever been let go for no reason other than it’s an “at will” employment arrangement?
It is about loyalty. Do I think people should do their jobs well and with pride? Absolutely. But don’t be so delusional that the vast majority of companies give a lick about their employees. They will take as much as they can and move on when that usefulness is through.
But we’re a family! And what about all of those pizza parties???
