Company loyalty is dead and the C-suites killed it.

Go fuck yourself, you don’t deserve worker loyalty

you're meant to move jobs every few years, you can keep employees a few years longer with stock incentives or yearly raises but if there's no financial advantage to staying, why would I? Like if it's better in every single way to move, why stay?

[–] philm@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago

I mean if you have a super nice working environment (team etc.), I don't see an issue with staying at the company.

But yeah as you say, if the new company is better in every single way, of course you should move.

Management: Doesn't matter, the competition is just as shitty to work for as we are. sips coffee

Until the competition isn't as shitty and doubles the salary ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Super misleading title, I'm in a job where I couldn't imagine finding something better, but I'm also open to new offers. I think almost everyone is

Yeah 79% is actually a rather low number given that this is the "default" state

You can always find a new shitshow

You can always find a new shitshow

Having to deal with different volumes and types of shit can be a very welcomed move. Perfect is the enemy of good.

IMO it just says which and why people hang out on SO.

[–] BautAufWasEuchAufbaut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do you mean? Not being open to new opportunities is only harming yourself.

[–] AMDmi3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Being open to new opportunities and being dissatisfied with you job are different things. I've mainly meant that these statistics are biased. Hypothesis is that people not interested in doing their work hang out on SO instead, as a result a lot of people hanging out on SO are "considering a career move".

There are people who hang out on StackOverflow?

Change company is the only way to keep up with inflation.
