Why is a person's salary the most secretive personal thing in the history of the universe? - Page 4 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

In the US this is a huge thing it seems for a lot of job/people, in the end you make more money if you play that game then if you stick at one spot that only gives you small raises here and there that are a lot of times keeping up with inflation raises. If you play this game you are upping your value in a huge way moreso then a person who just says hey I'll stick with this company. It's sad but loyalty to the worker/company went out the window decades ago in the US, a big part of it is big companies realized they are better off hiring contractors to do the work instead of in house people that way you don't have to pay benefits packages and the company makes way more money.

The absolutely best thing I have done for my career is to drop this thing, called loyalty to the company. if I don't like something and after the first conversation it isn't improved I go. My job satisfaction sky rocketed since I started to apply this strat.
