Great content as usual, Abdulhameed. I think it's Raymond Reddington (Yess Blacklist >>>) that said "Value loyalty above all else." And while it's perfectly logical to argue for 'putting yourself first' and ignoring the organization, we should however not ignore our duty to those who put their faith in us, because in the end a good name >>..
Btw first comment on a Monday morning, where are my flowers??
Thanks Abdulhameed for this excellent article as usual! I agree with staying true to one’s value. However, I believe one must strike a balance between loyalty and personal/career growth. I have been in situations where, choosing employer’s loyalty over mine would perhaps have been detrimental to my career and missing out on the relevant skills which I should have acquired at that stage in my career. The peculiar scenario in this article is one I agree with as the current employer has also invested in the person and it makes sense to be loyal to them or at least repay the investment in kind.
I would have to agree with you that things like this are subjective, and taking a one-size-fits-all approach is not the way to go. Sometimes, it is indeed best to do what is best for you.
Kept refreshing my mail on Sunday looking for your newsletter. 👍🏾 Staying true to your values only works when it all works out well in the end. Great job Hameed.
Hmmn I like this. There is survivorship bias at play here, i.e. someone who had an underwhelming career after the incident would perhaps not look back at it so favorably.
Great piece as usual , I’m in a somewhat similar situation and I’m making the same call as the banker. Money isn’t everything and things will turn out well in the end
