Companies Do Not Care About Staff Loyalty (Anymore) - How Money Works | How Money Works
How Money WorksSummary
The tradition of giving gold watches to employees upon retirement has largely faded, reflecting a broader decline in company loyalty among workers. Historically, these tokens symbolized long-term commitment, typically awarded after 25 years of service. However, current statistics reveal that the median tenure for U.S. workers is just over four years, with many employees changing jobs every couple of years, often for better pay and opportunities.
Several factors contribute to this shift. The rapid evolution of job roles due to technological advancements has made many positions obsolete, while the influx of skilled graduates has increased competition for jobs. Companies often prefer hiring fresh talent, which is typically less expensive and more adaptable, rather than investing in the long-term development of existing employees. This trend is exacerbated by globalization, which expands the talent pool and allows firms to fill positions quickly with external candidates, often leading to higher turnover rates.
As organizations embrace flatter structures and standardized tasks, the traditional career ladder becomes less relevant. Employees are encouraged to switch jobs to advance their careers, as loyalty is no longer rewarded. The changing landscape of work suggests that individuals should prioritize their own career growth by seeking opportunities that offer better compensation and job satisfaction, rather than relying on employer loyalty for long-term stability.

Companies Do Not Care About Staff Loyalty (Anymore) - How Money Works Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈 How many people do you know that have been with their current employer for more than 10 years? Well according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics it’s actually 29% of people, which sounds suspiciously high until you consider that a vast majority of this group are made up of workers on the verge of retirement, which is important to remember for later. Amongst all workers in the US the median was just over 4 years. In fact multiple studies have suggested that full time workers that stick with their employers for more than two years on average get paid FIFTY PERCENT LESS. This is an unbelievably large gap, ESPECIALLY when you consider that the average of the loyal working group will be drastically inflated by senior executives and the c suite who tend to have more tenure. In plain English, for regular Joes like you or me, this 50% figure is likely understated. So why aren’t companies stopping this? Surely having to pay tens of thousands of dollars to advertise a position, interview candidates, onboard new staff, train them and wait for them to get up to speed with their new role is not sustainable if it has to be done over and over again every 2 years… right?... Well you would think so, but there are a few reasons why companies don’t care about employee loyalty… anymore… #Career #Jobs #HowMoneyWorks ___________________________________________________________________________ Link to my vid on BS Jobs - https://youtu.be/uK3OBAxCi6k Link to my vid on retirement - https://youtu.be/Q5sF0MbfVn8 Follow to learn How Money Works.

Is The World Bank Actually an Evil Empire? - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈The world bank and the International Monetary Fund are two international organizations that receive a fair bit of criticism for being overly powerful empires used by the wealthy and influential to squash poor and developing nations.And as we will explore a lot of this criticism isn’t entirely unfair either.But part of the problem stems from the average individual not knowing what the world bank is and what they do, which means at best they only hear about the issues that make headlines, or at worst they don’t hear anything about it and go grr, banks are bad, so a bank for the entire world must be the biggest baddest bank of all.And as we have said, they might not be wrong, but before we get the pitchforks out it’s time to learn how money works, and thoroughly investigate what these institutions do, what they are supposed to do, and why everybody seams to be angry at them all the time.Ok so they world bank and the international monetary fund are often confused for one another, and in fairness they are similar in a lot of ways. Both of them were started as financial arms of the United nations in the mid 1940’s as a response to the financial factors the led to world war 2.They are also both something that most people won’t have anything to with in their day to day lives, unless they were to become a very senior politician or bureaucrat.But here is the general breakdown.#WorldBank #IMF #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSRMusic by Epidemic SoundFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

For a long time companies like McDonalds, Dominos, KFC, Taco Bell and Wendy’s were considered “recession proof” because even in the most dire of circumstances people still need to eat, and the companies typically offered the best exchange rate of dollars to calories in the market. But that’s changed. In a business move that can only be described as… confusing… These brands have responded to cost conscious, busy and desperate consumers by becoming more expensive, slower and less reliable… Unsurprisingly sales across the industry have plummeted at a time when they SHOULD be outperforming. It would almost be comical if they weren’t collectively some of the largest employers in the country. However the McRessession has been caused by more than some management missteps, it’s a clear sign of some much bigger problems in the wider economy.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.
