I hate it, it’s not fair, I just want to put roots down at a company and grow in my role around people I enjoy working with and respect, and build my pension and seniority and rise through the ranks. Instead I’m stuck uprooting myself every 2-3 years and being the new employee each time and having to learn a new role and company culture, because these shitty companies don’t care to retain their existing employees – won’t give raises even close to matching market/inflation, I’m sorry but 3% every year is a JOKE. Inflation is at like 14%… I am sick to death of job hopping but when it comes down to my measly 3% raise or leaving for a 15% pay bump, I have no choice. Bills need to be paid.
