You have zero evidence for your 5% comment. With how infrequent this stuff happens, and how often people jump between companies, I find it much more likely that the number is closer to 0.1% for a random software engineering job. Or, in other words, it is nothing that anyone needs to worry about. Your link is irrelevant because those examples were for VPs. I am not talking about VPs. I am talking about a random software engineer at a top tech company. Those people don't have to worry.
