People are leaving the typical job market because the typical job market abandoned them. I don't know if this is me just glorifying the past, but I've heard people say that the the company they used to work for would somewhat look out for them and that it was expected that you would stick around for a long time. Nowadays it's more expected to hop from one job to another.
- exallium 7y agoIt's sad because we've lost a lot of great developers to this notion that the only way to move up is to move on. It sucks, but it seems like companies these days think they're buying you in at a particular price and it's ok to drip feed you raises over the years, and then are surprised when you move on to another company willing to pay you what you're really worth at that point.
- granshaw 7y agoThe way I think about current American corporate culture is that, yes, there are good _individuals_ at companies that legitimately want you to succeed and have you paid what you’re worth; but at the end of the day the needs of the company trumps all, and companies themselves are ruthless, inhuman, profit-seeking entities.
