Last week was the MLB Trade Deadline, which you may have cared about . . . if you’re a Dodgers fan, or just hate the Dodgers.
But have you ever thought about how you’d feel if YOU were traded at work? Like, if your boss traded you to another employer who wanted your skills?
In a new poll, 23% of people say they would have a POSITIVE reaction to being traded . . . including 6% who say they’d LOVE if that happened.
17% say they’d have a “somewhat negative” feeling, and 29% would be very upset if it happened to them. 31% of people say they’re “not sure.”
Younger adults like the idea more than older adults . . . maybe because they’re less rooted in the exact place where they’re working right now.
The poll also asked if “trading” could be a good thing to add to normal people’s jobs, and just 3% say it would be good for workers . . . 28% say it would be good for employers . . . another 15% say it could be good for both . . . but 30% say it wouldn’t be good for either. 25% have no idea.
