Does your loyalty stay with the individual or the firm?

This situation came up twice recently and it's got me thinking.

My lawyer left his firm to pursue a partnership elsewhere. He left me hanging.

My stockbroker got fired three weeks into transferring my account with him. He left me hanging.

When you have an accountant, lawyer, doctor, professional whatever - do you tend to side with the firm or the individual?
 
individual. they can't tell you what really happend, but most only leave for a good reason. firms usually dick someone over until the individual cannot take it anymore and leaves before he/she has a major medical problem.
 
Hmm, Id say loyalty to the individual as long as he/she can still perform up to the standards and level of quality as thei did before he/she departed from the firm or practice. If you dealt with a few different people from a firm or practice, then Id say be loyal to the firm/practice.
 
Well, if the individuals left me hanging, I certainly wouldn't be chasing them down to give them my business.
 
If it took your broker three damn weeks to transfer an account (even multiple accounts) then I'd say it's a good thing he's gone.
 
Do you guys not get that when he says my "my accountant" or "my lawyer", or "my broker" that the word "my" means "my parents"


lol at the parents terrorist joke

PAB's da bomb!

No thanks. I think we've all see WAY too much crap from you already...


HOWEVER, my last job, ever though we worked for a company, my crew all worked for our superintendant. Our loyalty was to him, not the company. Most of us had worked for him on at least a couple different jobs with different companies over the years. Had he left to go to another contractor, most of us would have followed gladly. I told one superintendant, "I don't work for T-S, I work for Mike...Tutor is just the mechanism that allows him to give me a paycheck"...
The silly bastard tried to write me up for insubordination...huh..ME? insubordinate? Whoda thunk it?
The project manager told him he couldn't write me for that, and got it thrown out. HE got reassigned to a different part of the job, and was off my barge for the balance of the job.

I think he meant three weeks AFTER he transferred the account.

11 different accounts, spread out all over brokers across the nation.

We had three problems with surrendering firms that would not honor the transfer request.
 
Well if you like working with someone and they get let go or leave, how is the answer not obvious? Maybe I'm not getting what you are asking. As far as I can tell, there is zero reason to continue working with the firm that the guy you liked left. He had to have left for a reason, and you never know if some other guy's going to be any good. It's like asking, would you keep going to her old apartment if your girlfriend moved.
 
I've left jobs because a supervisor I liked left. I've also left jobs because the supervisor I disliked stayed.
 
<Dwight>I'm going wherever they value loyalty the most.</Dwight>

It depends on the situation. However, individual usually gets my loyalty. However, if the individual left me hanging, no notice, no "come with me" then it would be the company.

I dunno about the last part. It could be that you were left hanging because of a non-compete clause or non-raid clause in the contract.
 
I'd say the individual assuming the other company they went to was good and you're happy working with that person (the service etc).
I'm going to be doing the same with my stylist. She moved to another salon.
