He is younger then I am, started working when he was five years older, and STILL was so damn stupid that he thought he was going to work at one company his entire life? I am sorry but in the NINTIES if you thought that your IQ was so low you need to be watered lightly and placed on a sunny windowsill.
In the sixties I can see having that mind set. In the nineties, like hell you did.
I can see what you are saying. I guess I am an exception and it probably also depends on the career field or industry. I have had two employers, other than odd short term jobs in highschool. The Navy was my first employer (24 years) and my current company (a major aerospace company and defense contractor) was the second (now at 20 years). I will likely retire or move to part time in the next two years. I do see many younger people cross to other competitors for bumps in pay, but there is a down side to that as well. At my company, if we see a candidate who has a resume with several companies over a few years, it’s frowned upon as we don’t want to spend time and money to train people and watch them walk out the door with those skills.
