If you owned a business and you paid one particular person millions of dollars every year because he was a decent worker and had the potential to be a solid (not great) worker, could you see still see yourself paying (higher salary from the previous 4 years) him 5 years later and still hoping for him to come around? I think not, let's face it he's no better than he was in his second year.
Though we are not paid millions, I'm sure we all make more in our fifth year of employment than our fourth year....
And as an employer, I would rather keep the worker that I know over hiring a new one....
Employers used to have a certain loyalty to their workers in the world that I grew up and lived in....
It shouldn't always be all about the almighty dollar all the time!....
But I realize today, an employer would rather contract out services so he can make a bigger profit....but I hate to see that happen...
There should be some loyalty!
Perhaps thats one of the biggest things that is wrong with our society today?
Maybe You and I might choose to run our business differently?
You know?...
BTW ...I think it was a shame too that Leon Powe wasn't offered a contract by a team who he helped get it's latest championship...I doubt that that would have happened back along?......but so it goes....
