There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.

  • No, you’re not. And neither are you a Nazi for voting Trump, working as a cop, opposing Israel, supporting Israel, supporting Ukraine or Russia, wanting to deport illegal immigrants or not understanding what “Trans” means.
    The word has been overused to the point where average working-class people now call themselves Nazis in protest, after falsely being called that by others.










  • Same boat here. A recruiter gave me the advice that staying at a company for less than 2 or more than 7 years sticks out and makes them suspicious.
    If you switched after less than 2 years, how can they rely on you sticking with them?
    If you switched after more than 7 years, are you flexible enough? And what actually forced you to switch now?


  • To be honest, when you continue to work for the same company, your knowledge will also only grow by +2% to +4% per year.
    You’ll be the go-to guy for a number of things, all of which you’ve done a thousand times. Doing something else will decrease the team’s efficiency, cause someone else is the go-to guy with the expert knowledge on that.
    And you only work within the context of your company, without getting exposed to how other companies do things.

    It takes a certain soft skill to break out of one setting and hit the ground running somewhere else, which most don’t have. And after you switch, you bring a valuable outside view into whatever company you enter. That’s part of the reason you can demand more at a new workplace.

    Staying for a long time in one place also offers comfort and familiarity, which have value for people, especially with families.
    Employers need to pay more to make up for that loss in “value”.
