The other day I was talking to a friend and she told me that she had been having a really bad time at the place where she worked for a long time, that she would like to change companies because she was no longer motivated with what she did and that going to work was an ordeal for her every day. .
After a few days he called me to tell me that he had just been called by another company where he wanted to work and with fairly good conditions, but that he had a problem: how was he going to leave the company where he currently works voluntarily, that he had been working for 10 years and that he was going to lose a lot of money. My surprised face had to be quite expressive, since my friend asked me what was happening, to which I answered:
Let's see... the fact of starting to work in a company it doesn't give you, in itself, right to any type of compensation nor amount, unless it is a fixed-term contract, which in this case was not.
The Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) itself establishes that indemnify is to compensate for a damage either damageTherefore, to have the right to that money for the time worked to which it is commonly said that the worker is entitled, it is necessary that the company does us harm or harm, such as say goodbye so unfair.
Do we really go to work in a company thinking that they are going to do us some harm or harm and that therefore, when the time comes, we are going to receive a financial amount? What if that moment never comes and we are no longer happy in that company?Are we still staying in the company waiting for it to happen?
Giving a rather exaggerated example, those who know me know that it is not unusual for me, it is like not wanting to change car insurance companies because I have not had an accident and I have not yet received the compensation they promised me.
What do you think of the use of these two concepts?
