Good Times Ahead

Just read the Today papers (13/10/2005), an article "Hey boss, you read this?" yesterday caught my eye. It says that companies here face high turnover, staff poaching problems and higher pay expectation. Sounds good. It seems like good oppotunity and timing to leave teaching to go private sector, where talented people are truely appreciated. The article also stated the reasons why people leave the company: Limited career progression (18%), personal reason (16%) and being unhappy with pay and bonus (11%).

The people on top have not realised that times have changed, job hopping is fine and according to the article, everytime a person job hop, he gets up to 20% increase in pay. Employers have to position themselves as "an employer of the choice", appreciate and reward good people, but.......sigh. Anyone up there reading this!!! I want a promotion and a pay raise!!!
