A business owner reflects on the value of placing people before profits after witnessing a friend's unfair job loss during a personal crisis. The corporate world often overlooks employee loyalty in favor of shareholders, leading to detrimental consequences for individuals facing hardships. In response to such situations, the business owner and partner chose to support their own team members, emphasizing their well-being over strict corporate policies and financial concerns. This experience reinforces the belief that loyalty should be reciprocated, and human considerations are essential in leadership.
Never did it occur to either of us to let them go during a difficult time in their life because they couldn't show up and make money for the company.
Corporations are not people, but they often fail to recognize the loyalty and dedication of employees during their times of personal hardship.
