People tell me I don’t have company loyalty.
But then I ask which companies have employee loyalty.
This guy gets it.
The very first lesson you will learn from your very first job is that companies have no loyalty to anything but the bottom line. The days of guaranteed lifetime employment at a company disappeared decades ago.

Tis not true, the very first thing I learnt from my first job is that people don’t really care to even try doing their job if they can get away with that. Well, this also doesn’t apply to a 100% of people, same as your point about companies probably
“Having hired over 500 engineers personally in my career, if your resume came across my list, I would definitely pass.”
Way to tell on yourself, dude. Even if you worked in this role for 50 years, that means you still go through 10 engineers a year(save for the amount that needed to be hired for company growth). Seems like way too much turnover for any company that is worth working for
Also: big, fat, fucking, ego-driven lie.
Quoting my response from elsewhere:
… FAANG. Hiring 500 engineers and bragging about it something you can do when you’re just interested in shareholder value not customer experience.
I wouldn’t hire the guy in the article because I haven’t seen strong candidates come from FAANG and I’ve been very happy to lose the people I did to FAANG because they weren’t good engineers, they just knew how to leetcode and tunnel vision trivia.
That could also be read as you’re not hiring the right people for the job, or your company is so shitty to work for that people leave ASAP. Maybe you don’t pay well and once people have a bit of experience for their resume, they leave for a decent raise. Or more benefits.
Regardless, if I hear someone say that I will definitely be suspicious and have more questions. It’s not the flex he thinks it is.
It’s not decided that was all at one company.
Why are companies allowed to prioritize immediate money over literally everything, but when an employee does it suddenly “work isn’t all about money”

P.O.D.? On my Lemmy??!?
I wish I had more than one updoot to give!
Do you feel so alive for the very first time?
I can’t deny you, I feel so alive
Thank God it’s already here. I would’ve been so sad…
Singin’ we will we will rock you!
No idea why this is controversial. As a compsci researcher I have always been exploited for their spreadsheets that only satisfy government officials and not the society.
This guy is a personal hero of mine. I stay at a company as long as I am benefitting from it.
My current employer has been great but we are being bought by another company. As such, I may go find a new job.
A warning, though, is that many companies are now putting weird job requirements in the process.
I was denied a job recently because I had two contracts on my resume. They wanted each jobs to be at least two years and were looking for five.
They couldn’t grasp why I only stayed six months on a six month contract or a year at a year contract.
