The days of dad working as a milkman for your local farm for 40 years are over. People stayed loyal to places because they were treated right.
There isn’t much advancement anymore because one you advance, the employer cuts your ass in favor of a cheaper option.
Job loyalty is the most laughable overrated sentiment in the American job market. The second a place can get rid of you or find a cheaper option, you’re out the door.
Climbing the ladder at places is all good and well, except now, unlike 50 years ago, when you get to the top, they yank the feet of the ladder out and you come tumbling down on your neck.
