Let's be honest, these days, it often feels like companies couldn't care less about their employees. They can terminate or lay you off at any moment without warning. Just today, I came across a video discussing how moving on from a job you've held for 2 to 4 years might label you as a job hopper. But who should really care? If these companies offered more than a paltry 1% to 3% annual cost-of-living increase, opportunities for advancement, improved healthcare, and a reasonable work-life balance, they'd likely retain their employees better. It's frustrating to see CEOs enjoying 40% raises each year while many of us are barely making ends meet. Strategically transitioning to new roles, whether within the same company or elsewhere, often seems like the only way to stay ahead in this ever-changing job market.
