> So if you hire people that move around a lot (...) That's not what the author is saying. His point was about company loyalty, not randomly hopping between jobs. If your employer fails to value you, does not provide good working conditions and is unable or unwilling to review your salary to match your market value, only an idiot would not accept a better job offer when one presents itself. You might bend over backwards for your job, but your employer will drop you at a moment's notice. If you are a HR minion and after reading this article your position is that you would pass on this candidate for absolutely no reason at all other than he might accept a better offer, that tells more about your incompetence and your employer's inability to compete in the job market than it tells about any candidate. It's ok if this sort of HR type that grandstands in LinkedIn does indeed pass on candidates based on this nonsense. This just means they are personally the reason why their company fails to retain workers and thus is forced to waste more resources replacing those who are not good enough to be extended an offer from competitors. But that tells more about the value they destroy in their company than it does about any candidate. So no, this is not the flex they believe it is.
