Almost every day my phone suggests articles like “bosses don't like wfh so you people should just give in and go back to the office” and “accepting a better employment offer is bad actually”.
Today it's an article in Business Insider about how people who stayed loyal and turned down better jobs are sooooo much happier because they've been promoted 3 times in 2 years and got huge raises.
Like really? Did you try talking to someone who wasn't an exec? Because I worked 15 years at my last place, and if we were lucky we got a 2% raise every year. That doesn't even offset inflation. No matter what we did every year we struggled worse than the year before, both of us loyally working for our same employers.
Now I make double my previous salary at a new place. DOUBLE. Screw them and their loyalty.
