Was just driving past the Princess and noticed that Who Killed the Electric Car? is playing. Assuming that it's still there (my luck, of late, has been pretty brutal), is anyone up for seeing it Saturday night (9:10)?

True, respect. I think that what people are lacking. They say they hate there job but it is all a matter of respect. Does your employer respect you and do you respect your employer. I mean the pay was pretty fair, throw in benefits and I think it was pretty competitve with what everyone else was offering. I mean you deserve a fair wage but on the other hand your employer can't offer you all the money in the world. It is definitly a balance of what can I offer you and what can you offer me. I guess it's hard seeing people go like that, it makes you feel weird for staying. Arrrrrr..... Arrrr.....

i would say loyalty falls into the category of respect, which is a two-way street.
i can't speak for all the employees that have left your company, but if they feel they're not getting the respect (money) they deserve then it wouldn't necessarily be wrong for their leaving

Hmm... still pondering this company loyalty thing. I guess in the chinese tradition company loyalty is a show of your personal loyalty. I mean what is loyalty? A manifestation of how we will treat people and our morals behind our action. If you work and aren't loyal to your employer then when you interact with other people what makes you so sure you'll be loyal to your friends? It's is just how I interact with my boss will be the same way I'll interact with my friends. If you always act in the same manner with everything you do in life then you'll have personal integrity. Well this is me personally, I don't know about other people.

I don't know beck, my company doesn't work like that. Maybe it is the corporate culture and the people running the company that affect corporate loyalty. For my company it is run like a family almost. People actually care that you are paid fairly and have a good working environment. If you worked at my company for 40 years you would be a engineering manager and be making good money. It's just that I deal with people not companies. Or so that's what I believe. So far the people running the company and my immediate boss and the president of the company treat me very well. The only reason you would get fired is if you really mess up and I mean really mess up. I personally can't see why people working for my company don't want to stay. I guess that is my weakness isn't it, I'm too kind hearted and caring. That's why I'll never come out on top, funny really you have to become a emotionless drone to come out on top. But really you don't want to be seen as one.
