The Virtue of a Selfish Act

In a move that would meet with Ayn Rand's approval, I am looking to my own self interest in determining whether I'd be better off changing jobs. This action could cause my current organization to change for the better in an effort to retain me (and perhaps other top performers) from leaving. Or, after losing one or more valued employees, the organization will change in order to slow or halt "bad attrition." (Yes, Microsoft, like many companies, I'm sure, also thinks about "good attrition.")

So, by considering other potential employment and making my management aware of that fact and the reasons behind it, I am incidentally applying a force for positive change in the organization. My selfish act is virtuous in nature.
