We practice or at least used to practice an unspoken rule in business which said last on first off but does that really apply? If the last on is more talented than the middle-aged employee who has been with the firm for 20 years do we get rid of them instead?
Long-term employees are something from the past these days – apparently we change career as many as seven times during our life – there’s no time for faithfulness to the firm. But on the other hand should there be if there is no faithfulness from the firm?
So do we really deserve what we have? Should we really have that expectation anyway?
