  ==factor in tech jobs aren't super stable (or as stable as people think they are)== Which industry's jobs are "super stable"? ==layoffs happen frequently, the average tenure at any one company is only a few years, and ageism is rampant.== Are average tenures low because tech companies fire people or because people are leaving for even better jobs? (my anecdotal experience says the latter is more true) ==annual performance reviews regularly involve getting let go for a non-insignificant number of people.== Again, which industry does this not exist? Have you ever met someone who works in retail? ==this is hardly a "company for life" role or industry for most.== Do these still exist?
