re: For younger workers, job hopping has lost its stigma. Should it?

I agree that you can make more money hopping. However, a lot of times people don’t want to hire someone they’ll train to leave in a year or two. So I get both sides of it.

I do prefer loyalty. But I also agree that for the most part employers don’t value their employees enough, so if you can jump somewhere else for more money then I say you do you and I hope it works out. I stayed loyal to my previous office and all it got me was shite on. Wish I would’ve made the jump to my current place a decade earlier.

Most employers don't reward "loyalty".

They do if you are a promotable future leader of the company. And, if you are willing to stand up for yourself when you see a pay discrepancy emerge.

If you are a “non regrettable” loss then you have no leverage and leaving is the pathway to increased earnings.

feel like if you don't change jobs at least every 5 years, you are leaving a lot of money on the table.

Definitely, you will definitely get downvotes from the Olds whi think you should be loyal to the company eventhough companies don't offer pensions anymore.
