Business cards are no longer changing
If you walk around any trade fair in our industry, whether it's Fencex in England, Paysalia in France or Perimeter Protection in Germany, you'll hear the same old joke a few times during every occasion: "You always come across the same people here, but they have a different business card each time."
The statement still holds true to an extent. There will always be a few people who have switched from one company to another since the last occasion when that fair was held. But here at the editorial team, we don't feel that there is a lot more job-hopping going on now than previously. Instead, it seems less.
And, if you think about it, that's rather strange. Because at a time when everyone is desperate for staff, you'd expect staff to actually be changing jobs at a greater rate. When you know everyone in the industry is dying for staff, then applying is easy. You can ask for a lot. A much bigger salary for example. Flexible hours. Working-at-home days. A grander company car.
