Interesting question. TL;DR; its a gauge to see how willing to leave you are. Long version: For some crazy reason I am often interested in why people leave a job. Of course there is a corollary, why do people stay? Especially if the job is terrible. In talking with a lot of people in many professions, the most common theme applied to why people stayed at a bad job. People fail to move on from a bad job if they have a sense of loyalty to the co-workers and "cannot leave my friends behind". Although it should be obvious, the fewer ties you have the more willing you are to move on.
