In today's world, it's unfortunate that people do not care about their reputation. Everyone is just after their financial gains. Even the Government does not care about the citizens, all they are after is their profits.
There will be challenges with loyalty even inside your family and among your friends.
This is the reason why more individuals buy from strangers than from family members or acquaintances who are also selling the same goods.
Why
This is because you tend to put more trust in your friends and family, who will therefore tend to increase the product. They therefore, take advantage of the chance to increase their profits.
I have experienced this on multiple occasions, and I think many other people have as well.
My apartment's electrical outlets recently started to malfunction, so I called a family member to fix them.
After five days, everything was damaged even though I paid for standard materials.
I hired a stranger to repair it, and he informed me that the previous worker used subpar materials and he received money for an authentic one.
I paid for the additional new materials and everything has been operating smoothly till now.
The fact is that there is no longer any trust between myself and the family member I called because he values profit over loyalty.
Construction Company
Compromise
Construction is the basis of all development, there should be integrity and accuracy in the firm. But unfortunately, some companies have compromised their standard and thereby causing a lot of danger to innocent individuals.
Due to compromises between contractors and government officials, many structures used to fall down.
It frequently occurred in my nation, and the cause was that the government officials in charge of overseeing building development accepted substantial monetary payments from the developers and permitted them to create substandard structures. They don't give a damn about other people and are solely interested in making money.
The Consequences of Prioritizing Financial Gain Over Loyalty
Legal Problems: If you are the contractor of a collapsed building, you will be arrested and face the law.
If you sell a fake product and the users were affected, you will be arrested. If people think about this before taking bad action, I think they will have a change of mind.
Loss Of Dignity & Trust: Once you are being let down by someone, you won't trust them anymore.
If they are selling a product, you would never refer them to customers or patronize them anymore.
In conclusion, we shouldn't prioritize financial gain over loyalty because doing so will result in the loss of friendships, family ties, and even stranger relationships. Loyalty pays.
