Dear Satish ,
Thanks for sharing the article. I guess triger to change starts at a grassroot level , which is the day to day friction with the job. It might be disjointed team, no confidence in the leadership , little or no value being created in the job and no sense of achivement from the role. All thses factors and many more contributes to create the push and the talent is not ready to hold for long. On the top the external factor from the market ultimately pulls them out . Patience and convictions of gaining grounds is a fair play but not an usual one ! Hence the circulation of resumes keeps growing and so is the earning for the job protals !
All 's fair till it is played for the right reason .

Is this genuine? If yes, Not very convincing ! If there are better opp. outside & if your worth is more than what you are getting in the present organisation (in terms of position & salary ) then why not quit?Is it an advise or a Veiled threat warning employees against quiting ?

I agree with some and disagree with few.....
It's right that when looking in for a job change you should always look into the factors like people you shall be working with and other questions laid in the article.
One point which i dont agree with is "Happiness @ Work".
I feel that more than half of our lives we spend in our organization. Most of the interaction is with boss, superiors, collegues etc...
With so many hours being give to one entity which is "ORGANIZATION' , i guess we have the right to find happiness in those hours.....
There are oranizations where WORK is FUN...... deadlines are there, boss also shout & complains and all that unhappiness do take place, but at the end of the day ...Satisfaction does matter and it comes with ....
Good Job Done
Recognition
&
Good Work Culture.
And people having that satisfaction from their current job might give heavy salary job offers a No -No.....
This is what i feel ..... :)

very good article i agree with u but if we will not change we will think our organsation as whole we will not learn new things as each organsation has different culture and only by changing we get the different type of experiences but there must be logical reason of change

Nice article...
I agree with the Dr. Gopalkrishnan article...Wot he tries to convey is think b4 u change ur job...Obviously we also expect that we sholud be happy wid our job...bt In case an employee is unhappy..wots the gurantee that he/she may get better colleague or boss in the new comp??
There are chances that he/she may experience the same response or behaviour wid his/her new collegues or The Boss!
So wot nw?? will he/she change the job again?
So one should look out for all other factors b4 hopping for a new job!
coz when a particular company looks out for a candidate to be selected for atleast 1st level in an interview, the first thing thats noticed after qualification is the ratio of over all work experience and the no. of companies hopped...
and one cannot expect an employer to contact every candidate and ask for the reason for job hopp...

Hi Satish,
What would have been the value of the article if Mr.Gopala Krishna's introduction is not added to...
Ofcourse towards the end.. are beautiful questions... may not have handsome answers... as it looks like ALL IN THE GAME cartoon in The Hindu Daily.
many people say..
Sir Issac newton is from this small school without proper amenities etc...
Abdul Kalam is from this school with thatched leaves etc..
My question would be...
How many Sir. Issac Newtons', Abdul Kalams' these same schools could produce... and obviously only one.
My view: If one is accountable of his own activities either good or bad: and if the current situation/job/ etc is bad, he could aswell learn from those of his own and from those of the others., how it turned out to be bad and also for others or bad only for him and good for others and other combinations.
Hence Loyalty, unhappiness at work... all these are blunders I believe.. (infact, at the time of appointment, we did not sign to be loyal and hence the company never demands, and regarding job satisfaction: we just signed off the document (probably 10 - 12 pages) just as we sign off a prepaid simcard connection, without inquiring all the details and later on suffer for unnecesary calls/ sms and the like, and blame the company.
Please note that I am not atleast one among the management.
