    God I hate these guys who hop from one to the other job every few years. It’s always the guys who talk big, and when they can’t deliver (mostly because their “great” ideas will break something else) quickly leave “because this company is too much set in it’s ways”.

      Lol, I hate people licking corpo boots. No company deserves my loyalty. That’s been proven to me over and over again, they also definitely don’t deserve my best either. They can get what they always give, the bare minimum to stay an employee.

      I have 0 faith in these types of people. they stir up pot and leave in a few years. I let them do what they want and then change it back later. They achieve nothing because they refuse to listen and they just want to say the did x for the resume.

      And who’s going to thank you for getting ground down to the bone doing a job you hate? Loyalty is a lie.

        Says who I hate my job? I have switched jobs occasionally, but these guys will work somewhere for less than two years on average. I’m specifically referring to the seagull category of coworkers here, they come flying in with a lot of noise, shit all over the place and then leave with a lot of noise, leaving the shit to clean up for others.

        It’s not the only way I’ve got a raise. I also got a raise once by saying I was planning on leaving. But I guess that’s pretty similar :)

        • I always think of the raise at the threat of leaving in the following way:

          • They could afford you at the higher price but tried to not pay you what you’re worth.
          • They now know that you’re willing to leave and are less reliable. This can lead them to use the increase to look for a replacement with the time the raise has bought them.

          Doing it collectively might be a bit of a different situation, though.
