Empoyees are the indispensable component of a company to miantain its profit, ensure stability and achieve its goals. The efficiency and enthusiasm of a employee is of great importance to guarantee the quality of tasks he or she carries out. From a overall perspective, it is a wise choice for a business to hire a employee without providing permanent employment.

To begin with, depending on experience, I totally agree with the statement that nothing could be accomplished if you are in great safety. The same logic applies to the business world. Let's assume that a company follows its rule to always provide its employees with lifetime jobs. Then all of the staff in this company will for sure feel relieved from being afraid of laying off. Due to this favorable fact, the employees will not exert themselves and make the great effort to perfect their work, therefore impairing the company's capability of achieving planned projects. With a bunch of shiftless workers stuck to the company, the chief executive officer can never expect to see a desirable and soaring record of profits.

What's worse, the insured position for the employees could imperil the willingness to generate innovative ideas and to achieve further successes. As the economy is growing at the unprecedented speed, companies without the capability of coming up with innovative products, services or promotional campaign will, for sure, suffer greatly from the loss of potential consumers and the promising markets. The most efficient and immediate way to keep the employees motivated and inspired is to set up a rule that rules out the possibility of permanent employment. Thus, everyone in the company will take on their share of the whole burden and make their best to refine their work, for fear that they may be fired for the ineffectiveness and inefficiency. Only under this kind of condition can a company achieve the situation where innovation is discovered, efficiency is fosterd, and profits are made.

In conclusion, sometimes being laid off is not what the employees may desire. Nevertheless, the fact that the more likely a employee is fired, the more efficient and effective he or she could manage to be, another instance where the instability of employment is the real impetus behind the economic growth.
