The preceding entry talks about unrest and a lack of fulfillment that exists with workers – particularly in the technology industry in the U.S. I assure you it is a very real phenomenon, has existed for quite a long time and spans far more than the tech industry.

Then, comes this article about the ethical dilemma one worker faced.

Carlton Vogt makes it clear with each of his articles that he’s not holding himself up as the last word on any ethical question. He reasonably and fairly portrays the situation and expresses his own doubts when the answers are fuzzy.

Suffice it to say that the unrest between management and workers will always be there until trust is established. A worker who would take a job, then immediately leap to the one he (or she) really wanted doesn’t foster much trust in the manager who ”got burned.” What’s the solution? Live with your choices. Too much in today’s world is too easily undone. Agreements, promises and words mean nothing where someone can come along and undo them with yet another stroke of the pen.
