>Over ten companies in 20 years is a sad resume that calls into question either his ability to seek out meaningful employment or some other issue with the author, like terminal "grass is greener" syndrome.
Changing jobs is what does work long term for them. In any proffession, why do you have to be at the same place for years upon years? In the tech industry, you will rarely get paid more, learn more, or really 'move up' if you stay.
- ghthor 9y agoThis is because our companies are all being structure into top down authoritarians dictatorships. The employees are weak, and management wants them to stay weak. Until this changes the only power the employee has to make change is to play politics or leave. Most of us are software engineers because we don't want to play politics, we want to build the future of civilization. We need new organizational structures that enable democracy at work.
