It is not uncommon to move from company to company during your climb up
the job status or pay increase ladder. The days of sticking around with
one company your entire lifetime died in the 1960's.


Which, BTW, is the other side of the story that Harry doesn't speak to in
his routine anti-corporation rhetoric.
A company typically invests in a new employee, particularly during the
first
year or so before he/she has acquired all of the skills and knowledge to
have a positive influence on the bottom line.

The 60's-70's trend towards mobility in one's career, often leveraging
experience and knowledge gained at one company for higher pay or status at
another has now become very commonplace. Why is loyalty to employees by
the
company expected but not employee loyalty to the company?

Company loyalty to employees went out of fashion first. Ask any "computer
consultant"



The changes in work ethics and culture (both employer and employee) went out
the window long before the computer industry became big.
