[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Job hopping IS the new normal. Younger people recognize that companies won’t look out for them and fire them without notice if needed so they don’t feel any loyalty. I hopped around a bit while finding my footing after college (during the recession). It took a few jobs to find out what I really wanted to do and who I wanted to work for. I’d give them a chance but treat them well and make sure pay stays competitive otherwise they might leave after a year. I’d say they will likely stay longer in their next position because they worry about their resume and short tenures so it might work out. [/quote]

Agree. But even if you give them opportunities and competitive pay this person will probably tell you in six months that they want a promotion and then leave if they don’t get it by the one year mark. If they are Gen Z they will probably do this while mostly WFH, taking long vacations, asking for the company to fly them across the US for a conference that happens to be in the same location and date as their sister’s wedding, working one hour a day when they have a cold (instead of just taking a sick day…which they will have already used on mental health days where they hike and do laundry) and acting like they are heroic…[/quote]

The person/people I’m describing were at my company before i got there. [/quote]
