Key Points
- Trust in business relationships is crucial and can be easily damaged by changes that negatively impact service or expectations.
- Employers and employees must navigate the delicate balance of trust, with respect given until proven otherwise, and clear communication and contracts can help, but aren't foolproof.
- When trust is irrevocably broken, the best course of action is often an amicable parting of ways to prevent further conflict and maintain professional integrity.
