I couldnt agree more, especially the line.."We’re not their master, their owner..."...in my experience, there is a weird sort of master/slave relationship in most consulting firms, which becomes even more pronounced when a consultant dares to be "uppity" and speak her mind.
The only reason consultants walk is if they can get a better deal somewhere else.....if you are so worried about your resources walking out the door, then give them a deal that cant be matched.....QUIT BEING SO DAMNED GREEDY.
Right on Tammy. I agree with Flipper too. At the company I work for they pay employees as little as possible, then when they want to leave they get hit with the non-compete, or if the company REALLY wants them they will offer a raise. This has worked for 50 years, but thanks to people like you it’s not cutting it. After they offer the raise people are even more upset that they were worth so much more than they were paid, and end up leaving anyway.
I guess it just really takes a private company with an owner like yourself to change the tide.
