People Are Torn About This Woman’s Frequent Job-Hopping Because She Will Not Tolerate Disrespect At Work
Due to technological development, many processes are happening faster every day and it affects various aspects of human life. Work is one of them. This might be one of the reasons why job-hopping is no longer perceived as unacceptable by employees as well as employers.
To say that ‘job-hopping’ is perceived as advantageous would be an overstatement, however, times are changing. And this TikTok video about job-hopping going viral is one indication of that.

Young woman admits she is a job-hopper and is not going to put up with a work environment that does not satisfy her needs

“I just left orientation for my new job”
“And I’m on my way to my other job to tell them that this is my week’s notice because the scheduling goes out a week, so I only have to give that notice. And I called my friend to tell her about it. And she was like, I have never met someone who changes jobs as much as you do. ”

“But at the first sign of disrespect, I’m looking for a new job”
“And the moment that I find a job that pays equally or more, I’m out. I’m an adult, I pay taxes and I will not clock in every day to be yelled at by other adults. So I’m a job hopper and I find a new job, and I did that easily.”

The millennial explained she left her last job, because she was yelled at, but also has a general rule to do so “at the first sign of disrespect”
The 29-year-old woman shared a video about changing jobs on her TikTok account that went viral and received over 324K views. The woman admitted, she rapidly changed several jobs in a row. Her friend even noted to not know any other person changing jobs this often. The reason given by a young woman is that she was not respected in her workplace. She claims, she was yelled at by her colleagues. Such behavior is not something that she tolerates in her workplace, claiming she would start looking for a new job immediately after the first sign of disrespect. However, she would not change to just any job, she would choose something that pays the same amount of money or more. Additionally, she would be rational about it and only quit an unsatisfying job after she receives an offer elsewhere.
As noted in a study by D. Viakarina and K. Pertiwi there are several stereotypes associated with the millennial generation and job-hopping. Many times disloyalty and laziness are brought up among others. However, during the extended interviews, it was revealed, that the intentions behind job hopping, in most cases, varied and far outreached those stereotypes. Millennials explained they were looking for a better salary, trying to improve or gain new skills, land a dream job and gain stability in their career.

Job-hopping can result in salary increases and accelerated career progression, while job satisfaction can make people stay in a company
Similar advantages of job-hopping were pointed out in BBC article, workers, who forego traditional career-ladder climb, and instead jump from one role to another used to be stigmatized attributing it to “hobo syndrome”. However, in a situation where companies themselves are showing less loyalty to workers, job hopping often pays off. Job-hopping can result in salary increases and accelerated career progression.
Lauren Thomas noted, that acceptance of job-hopping depends significantly on the industry. For example in the technology industry employees are expected to be changing jobs more frequently. It is taken by employers as a sign of diverse experience and a way to not lose their professional edge.
On the other hand, based on a study by D. Rivers job-hopping was costing the U.S. economy $30.5 billion every year. The study focuses on the factors, that make millennials decide whether to job-hop or not-to-job-hop. They distinguished 7 factors that affect employees’ decision to stay in a company: “competitive compensation, job enjoyment, opportunities for professional growth, supportive work environment, reasonable free/flex time, finding their niche, and excellent benefits.” The study concludes, that to reach economic stability in this area job satisfaction is required, which would reduce stress and would increase the commitment and loyalty of workers.
The vast majority of commenters agreed this woman should only stay in a position as long as colleagues and management “act right”
The vast majority of commenters online expressed support for a 29 Y.O. People agreed that this woman should only stay in a position as long as colleagues and management “act right” and appreciate her. Some commenters found inspiration to take action themselves calling the video “a sign” she needed. Only a few commenters were worried job-hopping might backfire making the woman look “undependable” for hiring managers.
I'm concerned if people are 'disrespecting' her all the time maybe she has a personality issue. Maybe she's hard to get along with or easily offended. I support switching jobs to increase pay and work conditions. I've increased my pay 65% doing this. But you have to remember employers pay to get you started. They pay for training and all the time it takes to hire someone. They need to get at least that much back or you're going to start having crappy references. Also, if I'm hiring for my company, and I see job hopping like this, I won't hire you. I want someone who's going to stay at least 6 months. So be careful with this. It could cost you if you do it too often.
People scream disrespect as a response to anything these days, so I'm wondering what she thinks is being disrespected. I fully support switching jobs when you're not treated or paid fairly as well, however there will come a time where you won't be hired if someone sees only month-long employments on your resume. My bet is she has a financial net (parents) to be able to do this.

All my ex’s were crazy! Same thing. All my jobs were disrespectful. Maybe it’s a you problem.
Yes and you know even if others are good witnesses to your unfortunate luck with a string of bad employers, the optics of that kind of history reveal something else about you: poor judgement skills. Not a good selling point.

There seems to be a common denominator with this story. Maybe she needs to start her own business so she can run s**t the way she wants because if I saw her resume, I would definitely think twice about hiring her and the type of employee she would be.
Disrespect? What are your definitions? My adult daughter calls me entitled and disrespectful it I ask her to load the dishwasher. Some people feel disrespected if you bump into them in a hallway, is this enough to quit over? Or do you need proper antagonism to justify it? If my boss calls me an a**e and we're having a laugh, is that enough? Millennials ARE snowflakes. I'm 43, and have had coworkers leave because they felt the music in store was not inclusive of their taste and they were being targeted. And if u job hop, employers think either you're s**t at work or f*****g irritating to work with.
As someone who has done the hiring part a resume showing multiple jobs will not get you hired. Employees want someone with job experience yes, but they also want a dependable person. One they can count on to be there. No one that has to hire people wants to do that again and again. You cannot possibly master what is required if you are there just a short while. I looked at their job experiences-what their job knowledge was too. Training a newbie every few weeks is the pits. And as a store manager I did not get to set the perks or salary. I did get to decide how many hours you worked and if it worked around your college classes or daycare hours.
She wouldn't make it through paper screening with me. She's going to jump from crappy job to crappy job because good employers won't want to deal with that. I pay above market wages with good benefits because I don't want to have to constantly train and deal with turnover.

My sister claimed this as a proper work ethic...so did my dad....lifetime of poverty due to my dad never holding a job for long and mooching off of grandma in between...sister same path but also always into drugs. And you wonder why I prefer to prioritize a roof over my head and bills paid on time every month.
I call BS on this woman's claims. Look at the comments here. After 5 or 6 job hops, no one is going to hire her. I wouldn't. If I interviewed her and she tells me that she was "disrespected" I would be asking for examples. And not just for the last job either. Her job skills can't be that good if she constantly keeps changing. Not there long enough to build them up.
Yeah, I dunno, I had an ex husband who jumped 7 jobs in less than 3 years because it was always about being "disrespected". He was just a full blown narcissist who thought everyone should treat him like God or else. Some the things he described weren't "disrespect" they were just things people ask of you when you're new, they don't know your skill level, you just started, you have to earn that respect. No one is calling you dumb or assuming you're stupid because they explain how to do something to you or tell you do stuff. Such a big chip on his shoulder.
That's the first thing I thought of. Some people want rose pedals thrown at their feet whenever they walk into a room. I'd bet she celebrates her "birthday week", too.

Being yelled at by bosses or colleagues is an absolute no-go, but if someone constantly feels disrespected ot the point where they already leave at orientation, they don't seem very grown-up to me. Noone will always act like we want them to, certainly not many different people at one location. If you have the same problem over and pver and pver at many differnt jobs (or relationships) the actual problem is probably you or something you are (or are not) doing.
As a person in their 60's i would have said once upon a time this was terrible but now i think yes do it.once companies respected empmoyees who worked hard and rewarded them as such and instead of taking 200%profits and giving bonuses to themselves and shareholders they would actually put it back in company and reward long term employees but now it is all take take take and you can be a good hardworking employee,working overtime and such and no ot pay and they will stab you in the back when it suits them,nowadays you are just a corperate number,it took my 2 job back stabs to learn thus the hard way.Job of 22 years and a job of 6, so I say now is the time for the working class to rise up and say we are not going to take s**t anymore.
This reminds me of when I hired a young woman to work in the shipping room of the bookstore I managed. Throughout the interview, I stressed that the job was very physical, and would involve lifting boxes weighing 20+ pounds every day. She told me that this would be absolutely no problem. Her FIRST day of work, she showed up with 3 inch extensions on her fingernails. I told her she would have to take them off, and she started shouting that I was disrespectful. We all have a huge sigh of relief when she stormed out.
I always wondered, how do people with nail extensions wipe ther a**ses? Besides the tipical answer "very carefully"

I have an adult niece who has a long string of jobs, several of which she quit because of "disrespect". Seems like it takes increasingly less for her to feel disrespected. And now she is a documented job-hopper, or has to explain large gaps in employment if she doesn't list them. Last job she quit because she went to work and couldn't focus because she was upset over fight she had at home, told employer she was leaving shift early and they said she couldn't because they didn't have coverage. Told her if she left, she was essentially resigning (her "dream job" that she had invested a lot of training for plus appropriate clothes). Left, called me and said she was forced to resign. So what started out years ago as standing up for herself is a little bit of a stretch to believe these days.
I've had new hires say I'm disrespecting them by explaining how the business does the job an how they are expected to perform. Nothing rude just here's the job how management wants us to do it. Y'all disrespecting me! Or I got you. How can you get me without knowing what you have to do? Listen she can job hop it's her life. But if I was hiring someone and putting the time into the training for them to walk out a month later for more pay I wouldn't hire them. Places want you to discuss an communication d key. Figure your wage an how's an work load before you sign you want the job. And don't waste peoples time. What is someone scheduled a surgery because new hire is here to cover then peace outs two weeks later? She needs to give places a bit longer time
You're out here, as what appears to be some old white woman with a manager tag telling people stuck in the slog not to waste people's time, but what about all the scum hole upper echelon brown nosers who continually waste their employee's time by not providing adequate wage, work life balance and a decent working environment amongst many other things. Waste corporate's time 2023, baybee.

so what does she consider disrespect. if she doesn't do a task because it is beneath her and the manager tells her to do it or he will write her up, is that disrespect? she smacks of more pride than brains to me.
except she will become unemployable...I suspect part of the problem is her own attitude
How often are most people being yelled at by their bosses? If you are constantly being disciplined, that's something that should make you look inward. I've worked for the same place for 27 years. Anytime there was someone pushing over the line, I have worked to make sure they were stopped. We continuously make our place a better place to work for everyone, get better pay for everyone, make it safer for everyone, and make sure we have excellent benefits for everyone. If you just leave jobs every time you get "disrespected" (an undefined term here) then you won't get to know people enough to care about anyone but yourself, anyway.
I get "yelled at" occasionally by supervisors and managers. It's sometimes if it's safety related, or it's my team being yelled at altogether. Sometimes their approach could be better, but it's an open-door with the managers, and we have numbers to call if we feel we're not being treated right and issues are not being handled with store mgmt. I haven't felt like I needed to call for any major issues. I understand the stress. When we're getting hounded it's during the busiest seasons and things are getting backed up. It's upsetting but then I remind myself it's not personal there's no insults and swearing towards us. If it does become personal I know who to call. If it doesn't change then I'll quit. I quit my last job cos I felt unfairly treated, passive aggression from mgrs and too much abuse from dealing with ppl for too long. There's previous jobs I wish I threw in the towel upon the first abusive customer. Get your own damn coffee.
No problem with finding a better job where you make more money and are happier. But respect doesn’t pay bills. You can’t pay your rent in respect. People are always on about respect and I think it’s silly. People don’t have to respect you or like you. As long as they pay you and don’t make your job harder than it needs to be, who cares. They’re probably losers anyway, you don’t need their respect.
While I'm all for respect, I don't know how much of that story was presented the way the tiktoker wanted to present it, but the friend saying that she changes job TOO frequently is a little bit of a tiny flag. While I'm all for job hopping - when it makes sense! - too much of it can just leave you looking unreliable and making it harder and harder to find work. Also no workplace is ideal. I hope that girl's goals are realistic. And respect and disrespect can be shown in more ways than just yelling or not yelling. That said, yelling is AWFUL. If you're an employer or manager reading this, please, PLEASE don't yell at the people working for you. It can be traumatizing and humiliating and you're making them want to work for you LESS, not more.
It has been said here already, but I’ll reiterate that this is a tricky thing. I have definitely seen people benefit from job-hopping in terms of both position and compensation, and I’ve seen people’s careers stagnate because they never stayed in any place long enough to really improve their skills and because they have been labeled unreliable. Should also mention that job-hopping success varies not only from industry to industry but also (at least in the US) on your age, race, gender, etc (unfortunately). So…like I said…it can be tricky
I don’t think I really job hop, but there are some really ridiculous employers and individual managers out there. I worked at a small company that consistently didn’t pay us on time. I’ve had traumatic and dangerous situations happen with no support from management (client pulled a knife on me, I was forced to drive a known sociopath drug dealer to the grocery store, etc). I’ve been hired places where the job description turned out to be nothing like the actual job. Forced to work unpaid overtime (told to only put 8 hours on timesheet). It all takes a toll mentally, especially if you’re like me and stay too long trying to make it work each time. OP should start her own business or find a job with a union.
If my boss/manager/co worker yells at me I'm of too. Not acceptable.
This is the best way to find what you're looking for in capitalist society that values you less than the services you were hired to provide. There are always other jobs.
We (as a society of humans) really do not talk enough about the major problem of narcissism and other borderline personality disorders. To the angry individual who decided to yell "people can do what they want!" in the comments: yes, you bet they can, but they also have to deal with the consequences. This woman is 29. She is quickly approaching middle age and yet she is acting like a petulant child. And just as everyone else said: eventually, these s****y jobs will stop hiring her and then we'll get a TikTok about how terrible everyone is because she can't find work. I promise this woman has a string of crazy ex boyfriends and ex friends who "never treated her right." She needs a personality transplant
LOL. I'm currently looking to hire someone as a sales manager for my business and I have been getting resumes from all different demographics. It really is an interesting social experiment seeing the work ethic between different generations. I have gotten a slew of resumes from people that have started working in 2016/2017 that have 6-8 jobs on their resume. Those go right to the rejection bin. Why would I invest in someone who can't commit to a job for more than 6 months?
LOL. I'm currently looking to hire a sales manager for my business and I've been getting resumes from all different demographics. It is amazing to see the work ethic as the generations change. I have gotten a slew of resumes from people who have started working in 2016/2017 that have 6-8 jobs on their resume. Seriously? Those go right to the reject bin. If you can make it more than 6 months in any job why would I invest in you?
Im coming up on 20 years at my job. Mental health hospital and clinic. I had an incident in clinical assessment -basically psych ER- with one of the therapists. I was fairly new and went looming for a therapist to take a call. Well he was in his office so i told him i was going to transfer a patient to him. Well he got angry, slammed the door so hard the walls shook. I had already walked back down the hall....I TURNED RIGHT AROUND AND ADDRESSED HIM DIRECTLY. I wasnt rude or nasty but I told him that was unecessary and we arent going to behave like that. Its childish. If im doing something wrong let me know so i can correct it. I closed his door and went back to the front desk. We ended up being a great team and he was a great therapist we had each others back up untilhe relocated to a new city. I have had to correct a couple of folks ov er the years but this employer has treated me wonderfully. Sometimes you have to stand up for yourself. If you have a good opportunity, dont let anyone run you off. but you dont have to take abuse
I've had quite a few jobs in the last 10 years but I wasn't prepared to spend my life in jobs where I wasn't treated well, if I have the opportunity to change. I've got tons of experience, skills and proof of flexibility. I'm always honest at interviews that I don't tolerate bullies and I always have a conversation with the people involved before I decide to leave to give us the chance to improve things. I've learned how to teach people what I'm worth and when I find a good job with Good people I work really hard. I don't regret a single thing.
A happy employee is a productive employee. Keep up your search. I will also say, employers are also happy when people leave this way. It saves on having to supply benefits and referee the inevitable fights that follow unhappy employees who really should just leave before forcing the boss to look for options to get rid of the person stirring up negativity amongst the team.
I think there are a lot of outdated attitudes commenting here.. she doesn't say what type of contract she's leaving but it sounds like some sort of temp contract. How long did she stay in one job (didn't notice this info). If it's a perm job and she's hoping every month or so then it's not good for her. But if employer presents anything other than a perm contract, then it's no surprise if she hops. I kinda get the sense that she's treating employers like employers are treating employees - no loyalty.
This comments section is a prime example of how much people have been brainwashed into obeying their corporate masters. She said that she never left a job until she had another, better paying job lined up - so all the people suggesting that she's going to end up destitute and out of work didn't bother reading or have their own prejudices. As for calling Millenials too sensitive - that's rich from the generations that gave us Karen culture. If it's costing your company a lot of money to recruit and train new employees, then it's time to start concentrating on employee retention as much as on recruitment. I for one welcome anything that leads to better working conditions for employees.
This comment section is also an example of how the first comment sets the tone. If someone would have started off cheering her on, the lemmings around here would be praising her. Pandas don’t think for themselves, they just let the first few comments set the tempo.

While I'm all for respect, I don't know how much of that story was presented the way the tiktoker wanted to present it, but the friend saying that she changes job TOO frequently is a little bit of a tiny flag. While I'm all for job hopping - when it makes sense! - too much of it can just leave you looking unreliable and making it harder and harder to find work. Also no workplace is ideal. I hope that girl's goals are realistic. And respect and disrespect can be shown in more ways than just yelling or not yelling. That said, yelling is AWFUL. If you're an employer or manager reading this, please, PLEASE don't yell at the people working for you. It can be traumatizing and humiliating and you're making them want to work for you LESS, not more.
It has been said here already, but I’ll reiterate that this is a tricky thing. I have definitely seen people benefit from job-hopping in terms of both position and compensation, and I’ve seen people’s careers stagnate because they never stayed in any place long enough to really improve their skills and because they have been labeled unreliable. Should also mention that job-hopping success varies not only from industry to industry but also (at least in the US) on your age, race, gender, etc (unfortunately). So…like I said…it can be tricky
I don’t think I really job hop, but there are some really ridiculous employers and individual managers out there. I worked at a small company that consistently didn’t pay us on time. I’ve had traumatic and dangerous situations happen with no support from management (client pulled a knife on me, I was forced to drive a known sociopath drug dealer to the grocery store, etc). I’ve been hired places where the job description turned out to be nothing like the actual job. Forced to work unpaid overtime (told to only put 8 hours on timesheet). It all takes a toll mentally, especially if you’re like me and stay too long trying to make it work each time. OP should start her own business or find a job with a union.
If my boss/manager/co worker yells at me I'm of too. Not acceptable.
This is the best way to find what you're looking for in capitalist society that values you less than the services you were hired to provide. There are always other jobs.
We (as a society of humans) really do not talk enough about the major problem of narcissism and other borderline personality disorders. To the angry individual who decided to yell "people can do what they want!" in the comments: yes, you bet they can, but they also have to deal with the consequences. This woman is 29. She is quickly approaching middle age and yet she is acting like a petulant child. And just as everyone else said: eventually, these s****y jobs will stop hiring her and then we'll get a TikTok about how terrible everyone is because she can't find work. I promise this woman has a string of crazy ex boyfriends and ex friends who "never treated her right." She needs a personality transplant
LOL. I'm currently looking to hire someone as a sales manager for my business and I have been getting resumes from all different demographics. It really is an interesting social experiment seeing the work ethic between different generations. I have gotten a slew of resumes from people that have started working in 2016/2017 that have 6-8 jobs on their resume. Those go right to the rejection bin. Why would I invest in someone who can't commit to a job for more than 6 months?
LOL. I'm currently looking to hire a sales manager for my business and I've been getting resumes from all different demographics. It is amazing to see the work ethic as the generations change. I have gotten a slew of resumes from people who have started working in 2016/2017 that have 6-8 jobs on their resume. Seriously? Those go right to the reject bin. If you can make it more than 6 months in any job why would I invest in you?
Im coming up on 20 years at my job. Mental health hospital and clinic. I had an incident in clinical assessment -basically psych ER- with one of the therapists. I was fairly new and went looming for a therapist to take a call. Well he was in his office so i told him i was going to transfer a patient to him. Well he got angry, slammed the door so hard the walls shook. I had already walked back down the hall....I TURNED RIGHT AROUND AND ADDRESSED HIM DIRECTLY. I wasnt rude or nasty but I told him that was unecessary and we arent going to behave like that. Its childish. If im doing something wrong let me know so i can correct it. I closed his door and went back to the front desk. We ended up being a great team and he was a great therapist we had each others back up untilhe relocated to a new city. I have had to correct a couple of folks ov er the years but this employer has treated me wonderfully. Sometimes you have to stand up for yourself. If you have a good opportunity, dont let anyone run you off. but you dont have to take abuse
I've had quite a few jobs in the last 10 years but I wasn't prepared to spend my life in jobs where I wasn't treated well, if I have the opportunity to change. I've got tons of experience, skills and proof of flexibility. I'm always honest at interviews that I don't tolerate bullies and I always have a conversation with the people involved before I decide to leave to give us the chance to improve things. I've learned how to teach people what I'm worth and when I find a good job with Good people I work really hard. I don't regret a single thing.
A happy employee is a productive employee. Keep up your search. I will also say, employers are also happy when people leave this way. It saves on having to supply benefits and referee the inevitable fights that follow unhappy employees who really should just leave before forcing the boss to look for options to get rid of the person stirring up negativity amongst the team.
I think there are a lot of outdated attitudes commenting here.. she doesn't say what type of contract she's leaving but it sounds like some sort of temp contract. How long did she stay in one job (didn't notice this info). If it's a perm job and she's hoping every month or so then it's not good for her. But if employer presents anything other than a perm contract, then it's no surprise if she hops. I kinda get the sense that she's treating employers like employers are treating employees - no loyalty.
This comments section is a prime example of how much people have been brainwashed into obeying their corporate masters. She said that she never left a job until she had another, better paying job lined up - so all the people suggesting that she's going to end up destitute and out of work didn't bother reading or have their own prejudices. As for calling Millenials too sensitive - that's rich from the generations that gave us Karen culture. If it's costing your company a lot of money to recruit and train new employees, then it's time to start concentrating on employee retention as much as on recruitment. I for one welcome anything that leads to better working conditions for employees.
This comment section is also an example of how the first comment sets the tone. If someone would have started off cheering her on, the lemmings around here would be praising her. Pandas don’t think for themselves, they just let the first few comments set the tempo.
