Long Term Employment Can Be a Good Financial Decision
Sometimes people switch jobs often as they pursue the next higher paying salary, the next cool status symbol oriented position or the next ‘dream work scenario.’ I have worked with one company for seven year now and am loyal. I’m loyal because the company does what I like to do, the company pays me well, the company management respects me and my opinion, and they treat me like a human being. I’m a long term relationship for this company and in my reviews it shows. They consistently give me raises that reflect my value to the company. It should be noted that long term loyalty may be an important aspect in what can be a high quality life. If you can work long term with consistent benefits, low stress, reasonable financial reward and a positive morale at the company you may have the chance for a better financial situation as well, here’s why:
A company that keeps your ‘maintained’ in a state of happiness as an employee or contractor or some sort of working relationship is going to be able to let you focus on finances when you go home at night, or any other task you need to focus on. The company isn’t killing your life outside of work and that company is going to help you have a balanced emotional wellbeing. There is very little that stress is going to add to in your life but the chances of a medical problem or worse. If you can focus on your finances, even if its not for stellar wages that would make everyone jealous, but instead are for reasonable wages that keep your needs met then you can devote the appropriate time to maximizing your return on investments, stay out of debt, and prepare for the future.
A good company standard for employee morale is going to help the company have (potentially) more productive employees. Employees are less likely to call in sick when they’re not really sick as well. Look for long term employment opportunities. Seek out companies that have good, strong values that match your own. Consider all of the benefits for sticking around in contrast to the ‘greener grasses’ of other companies. Its not that leaving a company is a stupid idea, but you have to consider the cost of that moving on verses sticking with your current situation so that you can focus on other things that will have longer term benefits.
Why else should you stick around at an employer? Why should you move onto another job?
