“Did you just have an argument with your boss? You look so angry. I told you, but you didn’t listen. This company doesn’t value talent like the other company. If you worked for that company, your salary would be 2-3 times higher than your current salary…”Lam, the sales manager of the Thu Do advertising company, heard her close friend Van whispering during lunch break. Feeling frustrated and annoyed because her work was not going well due to disagreements with her boss, hearing Van say that, Lam immediately considered changing jobs.
Professional spy
Three months before working for Thu Do Advertising Company, Van was recruited to work for a newly established company. After only a few days of working, she realized that the company's biggest difficulty was the lack of good human resources. She proactively met with the director to tell him her thoughts: she would entice and attract talented people to the company, but on the condition that the company would pay her a higher salary and a more attractive position than her current one.
With the boss's approval, Van started her new assignment. The first person she thought of was Lam, her close friend and a very capable person, so she submitted her application to the advertising company where Lam was working. With a graduate degree and long working experience, Van was quickly transferred to the department that Lam was in charge of. After only a few days of getting used to the job, Van realized that the relationship between her boss and Lam was often discordant, so she immediately started her main job of persuading and luring.
To further convince her friend, she took Lam to see the office and meet the company's leaders. Witnessing the warm attitude of the leadership towards her, thinking about the cold and indifferent attitude of her boss at the company, Lam decided to seek this new opportunity. With information about old customers, Lam brought this new company extremely valuable information when the company was newly established. Moreover, being a person who was respected by many people in the old company, when she decided to change jobs, many other good colleagues followed her to the new company. Van's mission was a complete success.
Headache because of spy in the office
“Today’s young workforce is dynamic, creative and passionate about making money. That’s why they are easily swayed by money. Whether they accidentally or intentionally become spies, the consequences will cause a lot of difficulties for the company. It can even lead to bankruptcy,” said Mr. Hung, 35 years old, director of a limited liability company in Ho Chi Minh City.
The purpose of companies using this “spy” trick is mainly to find and attract good employees with many years of experience to their company. Thus, these companies do not spend much money and time to train human resources. With good resources, they can easily shorten the time to plan market expansion and compete with other businesses.
This is also one of many ways to survive against long-standing and reputable competitors. When businesses are targeted by spies, they often suffer because they lose good human resources and potential customers, both current and long-term. This will cause trouble for the company's long-term operations. Obviously, this is a form of unfair competition. Business owners, in order to avoid becoming unfortunate victims of spies, should pay more attention to their employees, create a modern, united, and ideal working environment, and not leave any loopholes for spies to exploit and divide the company internally.
