8 When a Job Become a Crutch
Change takes care of an employee’s co-dependence on a company. Some employees cling to a company like a crutch. The longer they hold on to the crutch the more they get used to it and don’t want to let it go. When this dynamic begins to happen both the employee and the company suffer. Their productivity lessens, they have a demoralizing effect on the good employees, and it is nearly impossible to get them to leave the business

9 Flushing out Entitled Employees
Change flushes out entitlement. Some employees feel entitled to their job and title. Once a difficult , toxic employee enters the entitlement zone, there is no limit to what they are going to expect from you. From that point on, there is shift from “What can I give to this job.” To “What can. This job give me? Once this mental shift begins to happen, the business begins to lose with money, time, and resources. Tolerating such employees is disastrous to a company or organization. Change might prevent this shift and flush out the entitled employees.
