Four years ago, when I first joined my current employer - the one that is probably about to downsize me, that is - a new colleague, Douglas, told me that 'we get paid above market rates and the pension plan is fantastic. In fact, it's considered a very prestigous company to work for in Scotland. We are very very strong company and staff turnover is very low'. ... sounds good so far ... 'But', he continued, 'the downside is that, since no one ever leaves, it's a difficult place to be ambitious because promotion is usually into dead mans shoes. They don't ask much of you so don't offer too much'. 'Basically', he said, 'its a great job to retire from, but don't expect too much in between'.
I think not, baby puppy
