Loyalty should be rewarded, not punished

Rewarding the loyal employees should be considered as Investment for long lasting business and revenues. Loyal or not, the driving force for turning up to work every day as an employee is to “earn” a living. If this becomes diluted then so does the drive to stay loyal!. Income should always match the contribution, this is a very simple rule and has nothing to do with loyalty.

Loyalty as a word here does not suit the employees. Infact, it is the hard work and intelligence for which the employers are paid and which they deserve as well. Employers have complete rights to seek opportunities around as they will always look for the same for their career growth and new challenges. At the same time company should pay them as per their efforts and dedication. Employers get paid for their work and dedication. Their loyalty is hard work. If they are not paid well they will leave the company and the company will loose the talent. But the employee will get other opportunities because he always was working hard.

Loyalty may be subjectively seen by bosses where employees may be docile. Nevertheless (s)he may be utterly focused and result oriented. The financial success of employee can be related to  mathematical relation - Directly proportional to highlighting himself as always relevant for him and inversely proportional to time spent indicating the work goals achieved. 

Loyalty is the result of positive actions. Those who continue to be loyal in an unfair reprimand conjuncture must have low self-esteem including fear of losing their job.

There are Organisations or functions or leaders who just prefers to ignore the Long term implication of it. However, sooner or later the outcome is nothing but attrition. And then the whole cost of rehiring and reinstalling an incumbent, would cover up or probably exceed the original cost of retaining a talented employee. Not forget the viral marketing that happens from the unhappy employee for which fresh hiring might also be a challenge.

Organisation try to suck the max out of employee in the name of loyalty. The organization here value a person only if he resigns. Corporate succumbing to employee blackmail is common while caring for the deserving is rare. Trusted people sometimes cannot fetch the result. Good people never smell of the successful life. Only positive attitude people can fetch the positive results. That s power of positive attitude but it s very difficult to find out the positive attitude people. However let s be strong let s be confident let s be positive. They are the key source for upcoming planets , they created that planet so they only able to control that planet . We all should protect them , otherwise alien took over that source from us.

Absolutely an eye opening post for all those who want to take everything from their employees but not ready to give them a justifying salary that would even able to take care of their basic needs. In three years of time span I haven't come across a single Company/Entity/Organisation or a Boss who does realise how important is to satisfy employees with appropriate range of salaries because no matter what most of us are working for MONEY and it's the only motivating factor that make an individual to feel give best outcomes and increase productivity and let's do more attitude for an employer when they see their companies are taking care of them. May be there must be some out there in my Country and I'm unlucky to find one. 

Interview Question - What are your weaknesses?

A good interviewer will ask strong, job-related questions focused on identifying an individual’s emotional intelligence level to evaluate how the candidate will perform in the role but sometimes this type of interview questions are good and sometimes not, it can reveal genius person or idiot ones, it depends on the situation.

A very well known organization that assists with resume', interview and other coaching as part of a severance package told me that interviewers may ask 'what is your weakness', because some people actually answer the question with answers that provide immediate disqualification, such as, 'I tend to be late Mondays because I am a weekend warrior', or 'I despise coming in at the same time everyday and bosses complaining about it'. However, a good interviewer instantly spots insanity without asking about weaknesses.

If it's an employee that conforms with everything they are told to do then this hits the jackpot, especially if the candidates are readily prepared for the questions.

90% of a job is  being able to get along with everyone else; the rest (the actual job) is on-the-job-training, at least in the companies I've worked for, that's been the case. We're not numbers, we're people. Shoot,  we all have weaknesses and does anyone really know where they will be in 5 years? Heck, I could be dead in  5 years! I'd rather have conversations with people and find out if they are easy going and easy to work with; after all, people do business with people. And, are they trainable? If so, they'll probably be an awesome addition to the team.

They don't only asked such stupid questions. They also expect from profesionnals to reply like parrots! It's hilarious and humiliate, at the same time. I have a tendency to want to give smart-assed answers to stupid questions!! I often get really stupid questions or comments in my line of work because I'm a woman. They really click in the smart-ass in me which I do sometimes allow out.

It is unprofessional and irresponsible for recruiters to keep going through the same questions over and over again. It makes no significant sense. Simply hire people, train them and provide them with responsibilities, and watch your company grow.
