If it doesn't make dollars, then it doesn't make cents. lol We all have bills to pay, money to be made, and goals to conquer in our lives. The one way those all happen is by earning the money you need as an employee or making the money you need as a business owner. I will us myself as an example and let everyone know, I am all about making as much money as I can to help provide for my family. So yes, I have not been at the same job for forever as some people may have thought. I average about 3 years with a company and thing I usually find greater pastures to explore. The old days of spending 20-30 years working for the same company are few and far between now. That is for a few reasons: corporate greed, the invention of the internet, and the change in the type of workers who are doing the jobs now. Loyalty has been replaced with hunger for adventure, thirst for more money, and the dissipation of not fearing the unknown.
With African Americans still only being in corporate America about 60 years we have now gotten a better understanding about the "game" that is played around us. Why spend 10 years at a company with minimal increase in pay or status, when you can search for a better job (preferably while you have one). Once you find your better job, then you leave that old job behind you. It is ok to say I have worked for 3 different companies in the last 10 years. If you get questioned about it in an interview, your response is, " I found a better job or a better opportunity to support myself or my family". Don't feel bad either because other people call it climbing the corporate ladder but some of us may look at it a job hopping. Tune in to this episode to see if you are the one who is trying to climb the corporate ladder.
