Quoted from o-din:In my line of work as an auto tech, early on I tried to stay at the same place as long as I could until I found out there is no loyalty. They will hire somebody to do it cheaper, or cut into the technician's earnings to satisfy their own greed
.
I can identify with this. I worked at the same employer over 30 years. Then came a change of ownership. It became clear that they wanted me out for cheaper staff, but were quite happy for me to train said staff but didn't want to pay me to do it. So 1 year to the day I gave my month's notice in.
So fast forward 12 months and despite a global pandemic, the last year has been the best of my life. Because it is MY life now, they did me a favour.
