That's cool because it means you can actually do that if your manager is bad. In some countries there are no jobs so all you can do about having a bad manager is... nothing.
- standardUser 7y agoThat is true in the US for a lot of people, and it was especially true during the recession. The fact that we've been in a situation where most skilled workers can easily job hop for that last 5 or so years is an aberration, not the norm! And frankly, we should probably take advantage of the situation while we still can.
- JohnFen 7y ago> The fact that we've been in a situation where most skilled workers can easily job hop for that last 5 or so years is an aberration, not the norm Are you talking about workers in general, or software development in particular? In software development, I don't remember a time in the last three decades where a skilled dev couldn't find other employment with relatively little trouble. Of course, in some periods it was easier than in others.
