Agreed. I job hunt as a hobby while employed, always a good idea to see what people are paying and what’s open. Unfortunately/fortunately im in a position where it’s hard to beat my pay and benefits. I can get more pay, with a fraction of the time off or autonomy I currently have. I can do full remote but know that I’m being watched and babysat to make sure I’m doing my job.
I’ve been working at my company for years. If my boss called in a panic and said there’s an emergency (he never does this), then I’d come in to be nice. I do long-term planning for after I’ve retired, just so my replacements are less frustrated by tech debt.
Foolish, maybe. But human organizations are made out of humans and we generally want to help each other, even when that tendency is being exploited.
Loyalty has been gone from the workplace for quite some time and if you’re loyal to where you work you’re a fool.
