here we have a chicken and egg problem. It's not that people tend to stay less in general, but that I personally regard the entire industry as fundamentally corrupt, so I don't really feel the need to stay at any particular company any longer than I really have to to fulfill my own personal requirement. However among my personal requirements is that despite being quite shy and quiet I enjoy the company of others. That's why when I am self-employed - as I am now - I commonly work at wifi spots rather than from home. Working Software of Santa Cruz, California paid me less than half of what I could readily have commanded anywhere else but even so I stayed with them longer than any other employer because those people were like family to me.
