Why Australia Business Owners Are SHOCKED by U.S. Jobs

From CMJJ Headquarters

October 31, 2026

πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Why is employee loyalty different in Australia and America?

Australian entrepreneur Lui Monforte shares his perspective on U.S. employment practices, workplace culture, and why business owners should earn their employees' loyalty.

On Coffee Time with Carlos Machado, Lui compares his experience with Australia's employee dismissal procedures to the at-will employment system common across the United States.

He raises an important question: If employees feel they can lose their jobs without warning, how does that affect their loyalty and commitment?

As owners of The Aussie Grind in North Texas, Lui and his wife Angie believe in creating a positive work environment where employees genuinely want to show up every day.

Working alongside their team for long hours each week, they understand that happy employees and strong workplace relationships are essential to building a successful business.

This conversation explores employee retention, leadership, workplace culture, entrepreneurship, and the differences between Australian and American business practices.

β˜• Should employers have to earn employee loyalty, or should loyalty be expected? Share your thoughts in the comments!

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere β€” but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it β€” every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
