> when so many change jobs every 5 years or less That wording implies voluntary. The new loyalty relationship is immensely asymmetric: "the company" holds you by the heart plug (health plan, visa, vesting) while at the same time will boot out a substantial fraction of its workforce, regardless of merit, the moment a quarter turns yellow in some spreadsheet or the M+A pendulum comes around again. There are very few places anyone can spend their whole career at one company even if they wanted to. I've been at this 30 years and I think I've had 10 jobs but only quit once.
