Money and benefits lured me
I just took retirement (early) last year. The quote above gives two strong pros. I've never seen someone stick out a tough situation that was not rewarded in some way further down the line. Even if not in position, in depth of character and personal integrity. As a matter of fact, some of the greatest success stories I can think of came from those who toughed out in the absolute worst conditions and by staying true to their commitment and word... even to their own hurt. I would consider the majority of "take the easy way out" answers here to be not only bad advice, but the way you pave the road to corruptibility, spineless and weak character, and an irresponsible lifestyle that has been crippled by self-serving greed. But hey, .."look out for number one"... "get all you can and keep what you get"..."every man for himself"... "get while the gettin' is good"..."YOLO"... right? And we blame the Mexicans and inner city poor for the piss poor state of this country??

I waited for the first two down votes. After succeeding with my own business for 41 years and retiring a little early, his thread kinda hit home for me. You can disagree with what I say but I'm done with it. I just feel for so many young men who still have to survive in what this country is becoming. How do you think this country truly prospered for so many years? I've had hundreds of employees over the past 41 years and could tell you which would "make it" within a few days. Seriously, if you disagree with standing by your word, commitment, and integrity of character and you hold these ideas of having your way, what is most comfortable, easy, self-serving and profitable for you above it... wonder no more what is wrong with this nation. The answer is in your mirror... and you have hard times ahead. I do agree that it can depend on the initial commitment and terms...but the fundamental personal ethics should be clear in job/career matters.
