    Ain’t nobody giving increases like new bosses.

    You want loyalty? That’s what pensions were for. Fuck your 401k, I can invest myself, thanks.

    You want loyalty? Give better increases.

    Most people over-index on maximizing compensation or holding on to stability. But there’s more to work than money and stability. Work is about growth, building connections, working on things you care about, being challenged and creating a legacy.

    Fucking legacy? Is this a joke? Who gives a shit about what shitty products they launch for FAANG companies? I certainly don’t - not beyond keeping my resume and portfolio up to date.

    Compensation and stability are the only things that matter beyond basic working conditions and a non-toxic environment.
