    Company loyalty is dead and the C-suites killed it.

    Go fuck yourself, you don’t deserve worker loyalty

      you’re meant to move jobs every few years, you can keep employees a few years longer with stock incentives or yearly raises but if there’s no financial advantage to staying, why would I? Like if it’s better in every single way to move, why stay?

        I mean if you have a super nice working environment (team etc.), I don’t see an issue with staying at the company.

        But yeah as you say, if the new company is better in every single way, of course you should move.

    For the first time in my career I’m actually not in this position. Found an employer that’s an ex engineer and just “gets it”. Good compensation, good benefits, and invests in all of our understanding and careers. Sucks seeing all the people just let go so I’m surprised this survey has this result.

    Maybe it was conducted before this season of let gos.

      I’m in the same position finally! I actually left for a few months a year ago to chase a stupidly good offer, but ended up hating the culture and company. They welcomed me back with open arms after earnest well wishes for my journey when I left.

      The contrast to so many tech jobs I’ve had is amazing, it really does show how a focus on the employees impacts quality of life. Everyone here is invested in making our team successful and it shows in the quality of work. It’s interesting how not having to worry about politics or wondering how to cover your ass lets you focus on the product.

    Super misleading title, I’m in a job where I couldn’t imagine finding something better, but I’m also open to new offers. I think almost everyone is

      Yeah 79% is actually a rather low number given that this is the “default” state

        Being open to new opportunities and being dissatisfied with you job are different things. I’ve mainly meant that these statistics are biased. Hypothesis is that people not interested in doing their work hang out on SO instead, as a result a lot of people hanging out on SO are “considering a career move”.
