[QUOTE="Dkayak, post: 1951506, member: 749263"] Expectations and attitudes have certainly changed but reality has not. There’s still a paradox at play. Focus too much on immediate compensation and compensation will suffer. Retired now but I always counseled promising employees (and my son) to focus on becoming the first guy your boss turns to in a crisis, the most dependable problem-solver on the team. Do that and your career and earnings take care of themselves. [B]Trusted[/B] high performers are scarce and very highly valued, so make yourself the object of bidding wars. Or focus on your “deserved” salary and promotions and be prepared for disappointment. Whiners are abundant. [/QUOTE]
