We have gone from full time to part time, to casual, to gig work, lowering the expectation of a long-term professional relationship every step of the way. If this didn’t do enough, studies have shown that many workplaces are now intentionally promoting the fear of job losses in an attempt to “motivate workers” and keep cost down, but this is usually a really dumb idea. The death of job security is bad for workers AND bad for companies…But nobody cares anymore…Up until the 1980’s it wasn’t unusual for workers to spend their entire professional careers working with just ONE company. Company loyalty was highly valued by both employers and employees, and the threat of getting laid off or fired was incredibly low. If you ever watch old films and see someone getting fired as a major plot point, just remember it actually was a big deal back then.But according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, those days are long gone…The average tenure of young employees these days is less than a third of the baby boomers exiting the workforce. I don’t want to sound too old here, but back in my day people actually cared about losing their job, but today getting fired or laid off from your company just makes good content to post on Tik Tok.This is a bad trend for companies, because it takes away their biggest stick.The fear of getting fired is always going to be a motivator in the workplace, there really is no way around that, if you don’t do your job or cause too much trouble for the company you are going to lose your job along with the pay and benefits that come with it. But as the great Peter Gibbons would say “that will only make someone work just hard enough to not get fired”.The death of job security means that people just EXPECT to lose their job at some point in their career these days, but there are three big reasons why it was allowed to get this bad, and three reasons why… nobody really cares anymore… So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why job security is dying, why nobody cares, and what happens when nobody has a job for long enough to be good at it… Follow to learn How Money Works.
