Amazing to work for 10 years at one place. The only place that comes close is working for my own company back in the later 80s, early 90's. Who stays with one employer anymore these days?
- edblarney 10y ago"Who stays with one employer anymore these days?" Google will keep anyone talented that's 'producing stuff', they have massive surpluses of cash. I think a lot of people would love to work at Google for a long time so long as they fit in the culture. Who wouldn't want to work on fun stuff that the word is using? And a high, stable income is the next most valuable thing after stock options in a high flying company :) What are the alternatives? A startup wherein you will likely lose your job? Oracle? Cisco? Probably not nearly as interesting. Alt career choice? Might cut their salary in half ... Maybe a different way to frame it: why would they leave? I wouldn't even like to work at Google, but I have no trouble understanding why people would park there for a long while :) Kudos to them for providing a place for so many talented folks to create cool things.
- Retra 10y agoWell, the people who stay with one employer aren't going to be writing an endless supply of blog posts on how they've been "moving around all the time and you should to." They tend to just do their job at their job instead of trying to convince the whole world that they're experienced and hirable.
