Difference Between Financial Advisor And Administrative Assistant
While I understand your point, and recognize the unequal distribution of wealth, I also have a different opinion of success and tuition reimbursement between the Financial Advisor and his/her Administrative Assistant. Others may agree with your example, “find a new job,” and although it is an option, I won’t say the same. Clearly, we operate in the realm of an ‘at will’ society; hence, people has the power to stay or go, the same way an organization can either keep or terminate. Unfortunately, due to various circumstances, some people do not have the luxury of quitting; therefore, they stay. Financial Advisors choose whoever they desire to employ as their Administrative Assistants, often times it’s through contacts. Remember, a great number
of organizations are created to make money, period. Although the needs of their employees are a concern, they won’t be caught up in matters that are costing them money; moreover, it’s a financial business, losing money will occur, but making money is their greater focus. It boils down to one question, and that is, who will bring in the cheddar and make the company profitable?
Generally, if I’m working for a department that provides limited growth; while on the other hand, another department is allowing the opportunity to grow; you bet, I would request a meeting with the managing director and share my increasing desire to further help the organization reach its goal. This is definitely the chance to transition to a Financial Adviser’s role and request all possible financial assistance, including tuition reimbursement, this would of course mean a long-term commitment with the organization. Michael, remember America is a capitalist country, economic equality is rare; which is why the author stated, “the U.S. economic system is commonly viewed as a “meritocracy” where rewards are bestowed upon those who have earned it somehow, and those who have failed to climb the social ladder must simply have not tried hard enough” (Harvey & Allard, 2015, p. 182). That statement is not completely true; however, it speaks of the environment in which we reside and partake of. I sure would love to hear your input, brother.
