Matthew Ryder argues that leaving a company isn't betrayal. He pushes back against the idea that employees owe loyalty above their own opportunities, making the case that departures should be celebrated, not resented.
This might be controversial is that you're a total. If you think that someone leaving your business is them abandoning you, that they're a bad person because of it. The amount of idiots that I see, like, going, let's block this guy on social media because he left the company, like, mate, it's a company. Like, who cares? Just let them be. When someone comes to me and says, I want to leave, I go, yeah, that sucks, man. But, like, I'm not going to hold you back from going and pursuing opportunity. I would love the chance to talk to you about it. But at the end of the day, man, like, I'm team you. If it's the best move for you and your family to leave and I can't match the offer, then fair enough, mate, go take it.
