Food for Thought
Whatever happened to the "if I work hard I can get that promotion" deal that used to be one of the prominent facets of the business world?
It appears through my personal experience that this is no longer the case. Having worked retail for five years, I have found that the majority of the managers managers in the organization are hired from outside sources. Long forgotten is the motivation to work hard in order to work one’s way up the ranks of the organization.
Why should we? Why should we for lack of a better term “bust our asses” when all we are grudgingly given is the $0.25/hr raise that happens every year more or less? We can work half as hard, get our raises, and not have to worry about scoring that promotion, because it will invariably be given to someone outside the company, whom we veterans of the company will have to train anyways:
just some food for thought.
