I agree. Some degree of moving around between companies is good for a career as it exposes people to different companies’ ways of doing things and helps someone determine what they like (or don’t) about different companies. But there’s also something great about a company where people genuinely enjoy working for the long term and aren’t just using it as a springboard to the next opportunity. Having a lot of employees with short time horizons leads to a lot of sacrificing long-term objectives in favor of short-term line items that sound good on a resume. That’s not to say that people can’t accomplish great things in 1-3 years, but when nobody’s time horizon extends beyond that, every goal gets altered to fit within that time frame. Or worse, people start getting very good at starting ambitious projects, getting them to proof-of-concept phase, and then leaving because they can put it on their resume as an accomplishment. I’ve moved through some companies they were basically a graveyard of half-finished projects they nobody wanted to inherit because they all wanted to start their own thing rather than pick up the hard parts of someone else’s half finished project. Of course, this requires the company to reward employees appropriately to make it worthwhile to stay. Many companies have figured this out, but many smaller corps underpay as long as possible and count on a steady turnover as part of their compensation strategy. Not great, IMO. Become a workplace that people want to stick with for a long time.
