This document discusses the case for loyalty in the current age where job-hopping and constantly pursuing better options is common. It argues that while having more freedom and options is good, sticking with one employer or brand can sometimes be better than constantly looking for something new. It suggests that loyalty does not mean being unambitious, and that ambitious goals can still be achieved by staying loyal to your current organization and talking with your boss about how to advance there, rather than constantly pursuing opportunities elsewhere.

2. I get it.
But here's the thing.
WE LIVE IN A TIME WHERE WE
HAVE MORE FREEDOM THAN
EVER ABOUT HOW WE SHAPE
OUR CAREERS, WHO WE BUY
OUR PRODUCTS FROM AND
EVEN WHO OUR ROMANTIC
PARTNERS ARE.
WHILE HAVING OPTIONS AND
MORE AVENUES IS GREAT, WE
HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT
STICKING WITH ONE
EMPLOYER, BRAND OR
INDIVIDUAL IS SOMETIMES
BETTER THAN CATCHING A
WHIFF OF THE GRASS ON THE
OTHER SIDE.

3. STAYING IS NOT
NECESSARILY
SETTLING

4. Loyalty doesn't mean
you're unambitious.
PROFESSIONAL SOCIAL MEDIA
PLATFORMS LIKE LINKEDIN
ALLOW US TO EASILY GET A
PICTURE OF NOT ONLY HOW
MANY OTHER EMPLOYERS ARE
OUT THERE, BUT ALSO HOW
MANY OF THEM HAVE AN
INTEREST IN WHAT WE HAVE
TO OFFER.
AS SOMEONE WHO CONSIDERS HIMSELF A LOYAL
SOLDIER WHEN WORKING ON CAMPAIGNS AND
WITH ORGANIZATIONS, I CAN TELL YOU THAT’S
NOT TRUE. IF YOU’VE FOUND A GOOD THING
AND YOU’RE HAPPY, THEN YOU CAN STAY FOR
THE RIGHT REASONS AND CHART AN AMBITIOUS
AGENDA RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.
TAKE IT FROM ME.
Are you too
busy playing
the
comparison
game?

PLANTED

6. INSTEAD OF SPENDING TIME SENDING OUT RESUMES
AND SCHEDULING MEETINGS WITH OTHER
COMPANIES, WRITE OUT YOUR IDEAL DREAM JOB AT
YOUR CURRENT ORGANIZATION. THEN TALK WITH
YOUR BOSS. YOU’D BE SURPRISED HOW A
CONVERSATION LIKE THAT COULD BE A GAME-
CHANGER AND PUT YOU IN THE FAST LANE TOWARD
A PROMOTION.
