The Private Job and the Job gap

Intelligent people don’t get into the Job gap/or they just don’t wait to get into the Job gap!

Job gap may not be good for the employee but is good for the employer and the economy, as the unsuitable Human resource is weeded out. Employee will have to maintain the decorum of the job, or get terminated!

Too much job gap may increase your detachment, or make you a parasite, but it may also increase the chances of your becoming unemployable.
Sometimes it is better to remove the unproductive employees ("Parasites"), as he/she may generate/promote negative thoughts in the mind of other employees and de-motivate the productive employees, causing considerable loss to the organisation.

Always the employees cannot be proactive, they need motivation, goal orientation, empathy and sympathy from their Employer/HRM.

Some of the techniques (De-motivation practices)  to remove from the job/force to transfer :

Many company/organisation do give hint or warnings along with the chances to improve, before firing someone.

Before straightforwardly asking to resign, most of the employers/HRMs, create situation when the employees may themselves resign from the job. Some of these are:

Getting New Job!
When you have got it as a seeker/on mercy at job gap, etc. (You have not been snatched from your current organisation.)	When you are lured or snatched from your current organisation.
When you are a job seeker, with very less cash liquidity and high liability, you will not have much bargaining power, and your importance for the organisation will depend on the situation, vacancy etc. The old/existing employees of your new organisation may feel jealous and/or insecure. You may want higher salary and position but management will not like to create jealousy situation for its old/existing employee. Old/existing employees may even try to pull you down or see a competitor in you. You may find difficulty in taking decision, when a new job offer comes from the company  which had earlier not paid attention to you, but now when you have been supported by another company (though not at the expected salary).	Though it may be controversial from the view point of ethics, you will have options and thus bargaining power. Here you will be important for the organisation, which wants to snatch you. But beware; there may also be a ploy to destabilize your career or the organisation in which you were working.

Unethical ethics/Paradoxical ethics

1. Why an employee though frustrated in the current job, does not want to leave it?

• Loyalty?
• You somehow want to complete your probation period and earn some job experience. (It may be that, you would not have been able to continuously complete even a year in an organisation!)
• If you have promised or signed a bond, that you will not leave by yourself.
• If you are scrupulous and gratefully ‘indebted’ to your current boss for giving you the job in difficult times.
• You may not be confident of getting another good job.

2. Actions of a frustrated employee: 

• Writing blogs on the office computer or personal computer with mostly complaining/revolting/negative thoughts.
• Posts resume on different job sites
• Talks negative about the company with the co-workers or with the near dear ones.
• Does not meet the target and gives several excuses.
• Prepares for the possible job gap.  

3. When you do not shift to another organisation, but remains frustrated /dissatisfied with your current job and expresses your frustration by cursing your fate, situation, etc., you will practice an Unethical Ethics or Paradoxical Ethics.
