Todays headline is not any announcement on TechEd. Robert Scoble is making the news of the day. He is doing something and the whole world is taking part on that. I have read it in blogs, my newsreader is filling me up and also the german new portal heise.de have it. And believe me, heise usual have only LAMP or Microsoft security issues in stock.
So a company have given a employee the space to create and grow. The company pays and the employee works on its recognition. He is able to communicate in minutes with thousands of community members. When he thinks somebody is paying more (than 85K) he can move without any problems.
The employer is getting in a worse situation. Should i make my stuff to stars? and get a increased risk they will move?
Our company have a similar situation. We are delivering training. It costs a lot of time ( and money) to push somebody to a star level and from this moment he can go and earn n-times more as freelancer or pushing a competitor.
