Antiwork

Am I the only one who is constantly applying and interviewing for new jobs even when I’m satisfied with my current position?

I have a comfortable white collar job, good boss, great benefits, solid pay, hybrid remote. By any “normal” scale, I'm happy and shouldn't be on the job market. But life has taught me that companies aren't loyal to workers. They are loyal to profits. Sometimes those goals align to the workers favor, but could just as quickly cut the worker at the throat. So I'm never loyal, I'm always browsing open positions and interviewing, always gauging the market value for my skillset. Call me ruthlessly capitalistic, but why would I ever be loyal to a company when I can get paid more elsewhere? I do what the companies do: maximize my profit.
