minus-squareNeuromancer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down6·6 months agoThis guy is a personal hero of mine. I stay at a company as long as I am benefitting from it. My current employer has been great but we are being bought by another company. As such, I may go find a new job. A warning, though, is that many companies are now putting weird job requirements in the process. I was denied a job recently because I had two contracts on my resume. They wanted each jobs to be at least two years and were looking for five. They couldn’t grasp why I only stayed six months on a six month contract or a year at a year contract.
