Are the days of working the same company gone?

My boss did 15 years at chevron before being let go. One advice he gave me was to stay agile and move every few years as company loyalty is gone. Is that true? When’s the last time you switched?

Been at the same company for 17yrs.
To me, you switch around when you are young and wanting to gain experience and contacts. As you get older you want more stability.

I'd say they are mostly gone, also if you want faster bigger pay bumps it's always good to have some others interested to create leaverage.

Pretty much yes. Still if you are good at your job and pay attention to your skill set, you can remain valuable to the company. Organizations change. Keep learning new skills and look for agile opportunities within your org.

Sounds like he just has a sour taste in his mouth. The 10-20 yr tenured employees should be the most valuable.

Yes. I follow the money as long as benefits are not terrible. I am going on 5 years with my current company. It is the longest I have been with one company. My 401k is set up to be portable. My first company did it like that and it has stayed with me every time I move. I plan on staying with current company as long as I continue to get good raises

Yes, but not for really the reason you stated. I'm not going to leave the job I have just to "stay agile," but I also don't really have any loyalty to the firm. I'll stay as long as it's my best offer, but if I get something better I wouldn't hesitate to leave.

I think it also depends on the industry.
Try being loyal in the energy sector and you’ll get burned.

Yup, recession killed that shite. Get yours and take care of yourself.

Loyalty is for suckers
Posted on 10/26/17 at 9:38 am to fareplay
Very true.
Never stay anywhere longer than 5 years.
Let your employer know you are always looking elsewhere if you are a valuable employee.
Your loyalty will never be rewarded. Always look after yourself. You should always come first and never your employer.

It’s very dependent on the career field.
But yes, there’s very little incentive to stay loyal to a company. I do not owe the company anything. I work for them and they compensate me for my services. If my compensation and satisfaction is better served elsewhere, I’ll leave.

Sadly, often they are taken for granted.

Yes. Long gone.

Why? Im not loyal to my company, but I don't have a set timetable for my exit either.

This sounds like an awful idea.

I guess it depends on the career.
I've worked for 8 companies in 30 years. (I.T)
My wife has worked for the same company for 22 yrs.(Accounting)

How is she not a partner yet
Posted on 10/26/17 at 9:44 am to fareplay
Been at my present job for 7 years, and previous employment at companies for 11 years, and 6 years with some other stints for at least a year to 3 years. As long as I like working for you I’m not looking around and like consistency of building things up. I don’t like having my hat on backwards looking to make a move elsewhere.

who said she wasn't?

Why you working then?
