employ
it's interesting to me how lists of best employers (let's use forbe's for instance) to work for change each year.
and not just by a small amount, it's not like there is some mild shuffling, or even just 10% come and go off the list, but that the list is so drastically different each year.
of course any private employer that is listed is a business in some form, and business is always changing, but it's weird to notice how a compalny can go from a good company to work for to a ... less than desirable company to work for in the course of only one year.
how often do people put years of their life into a company that has strong legs only to find that down the road it's buckling over and can no longer deliver the security and the [not-]promises it gave before?
(not promise being the term in that implications and statements made at one point in time are not promises or guarantees, but instead planned implications at best)
we're so much more aware today than we were even realistically 5 or 10 years ago, let alone 40-50 years ago, and everybody wants to work for the bet companies that promise the most growth ("everyone" is a loose term, this needs to be acknowledged). unfortunately, as today's times have proven, security is such a delicate thing.
