@elite.recruiter: The Great Stay is getting mistaken for loyalty. 👀 Some employees are hugging their jobs because the paycheck is predictable, the benefits matter, and starting over feels risky. But if you’re staying, make staying work for you. Build a scarce skill. Own a bigger problem. Document your results. Keep your network warm. And employers? “They have nowhere else to go” is one hell of a retention strategy. ♟️ I break it down in my latest Inc. magazine article. Are you staying because you’re growing, or because leaving feels too risky? 👇 #EliteRecruiter #CareerAdvice #JobHopping #JobHugging #TheGreatStay
My company recently went through a structuring and my position was eliminated but I was offered another position in the company that came with a 7% pay cut. I took it. This is not the time to be unemployed. Keeping a paycheck coming in is everything right now.

What about single people with no kids like mid tech ppl? Why is it so risky for them or is it?

I am growing in my role but I’m highly underpaid. I got an offer at 40% more. My company only gave me a 5% raise to stay despite being one of their highest performers with high visibility. I’m out and taking a risk

Not me realising that watching business content and actually understanding the business are two different things. I'm taking AI dropshipping more seriously this Q4.

Nobody is deliberately staying, the illusion that it’s even up to us is gone. If we are employed we are lucky. Companies are laying off constantly and you might be lucky enough to be brought back as a W2 with no benefits. I speak from experience. There is no choice here, it is NOT up to us, pls stop spreading the illusion that it is. We are slaves to the corporations and billionaires. Period.

too risky to leave but too toxic to stay. freezer out of contributing to relevant problems so creating a bridge from where I am to where I wanna be purposefully.

This is my first job where I’ve stayed for more than a year. I used to be a job hopper and it definitely worked in my favor, but since Covid I have become a job hugger and every day I can say that I am so grateful to at least have this consistent paycheck. All I can do is pray to God that he blesses me in the best way possible. And if that requires me to stay at this job for a long time, then so be it.

I finally embraced AI in my role as a Business Analyst, but now I’m punching WAY above my weight and role. I’m leaving everyone in the dust including the Management teams two levels above me. Trying to find a higher role in my company is nearly impossible, but I know the job market is absolute crap right now!

I understand but if the situation at current job is bad, this is the best time to find something else before you’re stuck in a job that is bad for your health

It's not always your own choice. You can only hug something until it no longer exists.

The current job market and the fact that companies are still laying off left and right is enough motivation right there to stay in your current job. there's no way in hell I would jump ship now.
