Graduated in 2020 and have had two jobs since then 😬 I know it doesn’t look good on your resume when you jump from job to job in a span of a few years, but I truly have no idea how boomers have stayed at the same job for 40 godamn years

I think it gets to the root of the problem that is work culture (in whatever country) the company always comes first. Because new hires require more cost to the company in the form of training/onboarding/learning whatever new unique workflow. We all know that the “freedom to work wherever you want” line from liberals is horseshit.

I swear to god if service work paid a living wage, I would just jump around as I please. Instead I’m locked into menial white collar work (which will probably not exist in 5 years tbh) and living the same day for years on end.

How do y’all manage?

    Then yeah, I assume it probably does, tech companies/departments are swapping stuff around all the damn time. I've flitted between 5 tech jobs (plus some few-week contracts) over 9 years and all employers have ever taken from it in interviews is that I have the breadth of experience to work with their niche techstack.
