That's because there is no incentive for the employee to stay at a place for 20, 30, 40 years anymore. You can bring your 401k along to every job, pensions are disappearing, raises are tougher and tougher to find, and employees are rarely treated as anything other than an insignificant cog in the machine.

Why stay at your current job getting 3-5% raises every year when you can jump for a 15-25% raise now and start adding those 3-5% on top for a few years and then jump again 4-5 years later?
