profit is the lifeblood of successful businesses
For sure this is so, but with that in mind a fair question to ask would be, then, how were the large employers of the postwar period able to almost guarantee lifetime security to their workers? They couldn't have known for sure if they would turn a profit for two decades or more down the road. In fact, when employers of the time interviewed they went the extra mile to weed out those they thought might be "job hoppers", the here today, gone tomorrow types. A common question often asked was where you expected to be in your life five, ten, or more years down the road? We all know that this kind of thinking has now been obsolete for quite some time. And yet at the same time there is a bigger push to set goals then there was then. Or at least so it seems.
