There are 49 'at will' states, and Utah is one of them. This means you can be let go from your job for pretty much any reason without notice. That part is true. Your employer doesn't even have to tell you why you are being let go. Most likely the reason will be a PC lie anyway.

That got me thinking about how you owe your company exactly nothing. Zero. The company pays you and you do the agreed upon (most of the time more than agreed upon) work. That's it. It is very sad but, loyalty seems to be a thing of the past.

Most of the time companies are only watching out for themselves and will let you go with even a wrongful accusation. Some businesses do not wait until the truth comes out, they put you on paid or unpaid leave immediately, and then quickly let you go whether you are guilty or not.

You know the old expectation that you give your employer 2 weeks notice before you leave? Why are we expected to give notice when leaving if an employer is not required to do the same? That seems short sided. Here comes the not true part....My friend said that she has been given several contracts that even state that the company will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law if you leave without notice. That is not even legal unless you stated somewhere that you would give notice as part of the agreement. (Hopefully because they hired you with a big salary and bonus structure in place.)

Obviously there are exceptions to this and there are still some great bosses and companies to work for. I will still be giving any company I work for the heads up, unless there is some weird unforeseeable circumstance where it is not possible to do so.

When job hunting, look for employees who are happy to go to work. Really research the atmosphere of the new company and see how long they retain their employees and if the company fosters promotion within the company. You spend a ton of time at your job, so you should love it. ♥ Look for the good ones and don't waste your time at a job that isn't fun or productive or uplifting. Careful though.....if your 2nd or third job isn't fun or productive or uplifting, it might be you.

For several years the fastest growing large city in Utah was St. George. Good news is, that title has been stolen by another Utah city.

The St. George area is still one of the nation's fastest-growing metropolitan areas. With an influx of people relocating from surrounding states, our road and water infrastructure has been stretched to the max. But here is some good news! St. George City proper is no longer the fastest growing large city in the state of Utah. According the 2022 census, St. George, Utah has actually dropped to 3rd on the list of fastest growing Large Cities (by percentage) in Utah.
