It may be their goal to have you run it one day. Should your boss simply be an employee of a much larger organization, it is more likely he will believe all employees are just passing through the night ... and he may be more open to losing all of "his" employees.... in any case, both employers are treating the employee well. But I believe it is expected that a successful business owner hope that those working for and integral to the company be long term ... if their goal was to prepare them for other jobs, they would be working against their best interests and very possibly against the best interests of their employees should the employee benefit from its continued success. in fact, studies show long term employment = job security .... and education increases likelihood of long-term employment (over 20 years) -- http://www.nber.org/digest/sep06/w11878.html Judy As a small and successful business owner, I do not think it is a bad thing to expect some of your best employees to stay with the company as it grows.
