    Originally published on April 5, 2021 One work dynamic that has changed over the past few decades is that both employees and employers know they’re likely not in a forever relationship. The relationship between workers and companies has changed drastically, and it’s highly unlikely a person will spend all or most of their career at one organization.  Despite this widely understood fact, people on both sides don’t acknowledge this reality in the moment, and are often surprised when a...
