People Are Torn About This Woman’s Frequent Job-Hopping Because She Will Not Tolerate Disrespect At Work

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

More info: TikTok

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.

She mentioned being yelled at. Not the whole story but that was the example she gave.
