> old school mentality that a fair long term relationship is worth locking in
Part of the secret sauce of silicon valley is CA doesn't allow non-competes, so there's a lot of employee churn. Too much or too little are both bad, but some churn spreads ideas across the industry, leveling up everyone's game.
I understand that some people want the stability of a lifer, but in innovative industries, this is a negative, and I'd rather see a better social safety net from the government to make people comfortable with taking risks and changing jobs.
- dogman144 3y agoThis is an interesting perspective. Same page, I specifically have not taken risks bc my PPO healthcare would drop out, I can jump for comp but there is a floor of safety I need to maintain. With a startup, you’re dropping comp and healthcare, which was a bridge too far.
- dehrmann 3y agoIt's a little surprising a Republican who supports universal health care (maybe there just aren't any) hasn't played it up as a pro-business policy.
