  1. You’re joking, or wildly out of touch. Maybe this works in executive roles where everyone lives with funny money and hasn’t physically worked a day in years.
    But for the rest of us, no!
    Your employees should be expected to quit without any regard for your enterprise, until worker protections exist that prevent being laid off on the spot with zero notice and no compensation.
    They’ll ghost you until the boss openly discusses pay, benefits, and career opportunities – instead of using the confusion to manipulate or even threaten employees into worse conditions than they can handle.
    Workers will walk out and curse you loudly until you respect their situation and side of the table.

    If you don’t want Mic Drop moments, stop being the kind of people who deserve it.

    1. Wow Charles M! I’m sorry you appear to have worked in environments that don’t value people. I also take issue with your assertion that all businesses are out to screw employees. You may be right in some limited cases, but I submit that in the vast majority of cases, you are wrong – completely wrong! I have worked for 35 years in professional positions where my employers DID value people, they had the conversations suggested in the article at all levels in the organization, and people stayed – for decades. To suggest that the author is out of touch is just, well, wrong. Perhaps you need to evaluate where you work and make a change. If you stay and tolerate things you don’t like, then I would suggest you purchase a mirror.
