In fact, when I see an employee with a strong sense of loyalty, it worries me, because I know that I may not be able to return the sentiment. Obviously I expect honesty and fairness. But when it comes to the issue of whether the employee stays or goes somewhere else, I don't expect loyalty to be the deciding factor. It is my job to make sure the employees are happy with their compensation and work environment. If they find a better situation, I expect them to do what is best for them and their family. I simply need to be sure that they cannot find a better situation. That puts a lot of responsibility on the company, especially with the way we do software development here. We ask our developers to do a lot of things they don't necessarily enjoy. We expect them to help customers with the tougher problems. We expect them to help with testing. We expect them to be willing to use any and all of their skills to help make our products successful. For a programmer who wants to do nothing but write code, SourceGear is not the ideal work environment. So we have to take the challenge of retention seriously. I'm pretty sure nobody in our area pays better than we do. Everybody gets their own private office. We eat lunch together every Wednesday at the company's expense. We have a pool table and a basketball hoop. http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com[..]DiscussTopicParent=8037&ixDiscussGroup=5 In Software, When an Engineer Exits the Team - https://medium.com[..]-an-engineer-exits-the-team-1e550303cff8 (google search) (amazon search) second |
