The end of trust

Posted May 19th, 2012 by Boris

A comment I heard the other day nailed it. The speaker lamented that, "all anyone needs to do is demonstrate that they’re not out to screw you. We live in a culture where we all fear being screwed by the other guy."

It’s been a number of years since I met an employer I trusted, and I am sure many of you might agree.
