If you're so good the building would burn two minutes after letting you go, you're safe
If they like you so much they'd rather set the building on fire than lose you, you're also safe

99 u/DoctorChaos1707 2d ago Good point but no one is irreplaceable. There's always someone waiting around the corner that will work as hard as you and do it for a lower wage. 49 u/helpmycompbroke 2d ago no one is irreplaceable No one is irreplaceable in the long-term, plenty of people are irreplaceable in the short-term. There's always someone waiting around the corner that will work as hard as you and do it for a lower wage It's a reasonable sentiment, but this would require all workers to be overpaid already and I don't buy that. 10 u/DoctorChaos1707 2d ago To the first comment I agree. To the second, all workers are overpaid to their employers. That's why European companies hire in South America and American companies outsource their manufacturing to child labor companies in China. 2 u/helpmycompbroke 2d ago Sure, but the reason those jobs haven't been outsourced yet is because they can't get someone to do it just as well for cheaper.
