‘I’m proud of being a job hopper’: Seattle engineer’s post about company loyalty goes viral::undefined
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 can’t match your own contributions, though.
I’ve never seen a place that matches as much as a new job would pay.
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.
Well in my case I created a legacy by helping to unionize my workplace. I don’t even care if I’m ever remembered for that, not many legacies can be beat
