I just had a very ambitious vice president resign. It came to the point where she wasn't happy having no opportunity to be Number One. This became a source of frustration for her, and that started to impact the morale of our employees. In his or her heart, every boss knows that what Salisbury says is on the mark. Employee loyalty toward employers has sharply dwindled.
People expect to change jobs often.
The upshot is that some employees will be terminated, and others will quit. That's why it's good news indeed to know turnover can bring big benefits. Remove them from the payroll, and morale will go up, as Salisbury discovered. Don't hasten this breed of nonconformist's departure just to get more tranquillity in the company. Most businesses have a few workers who fit this description.
