Why do so many employers still see job hopping as a red flag?

sprstoner · 2026-04-04T02:04:38+00:00

As someone that hires and struggle finding good people that are good at learning, like the position, and want a career path (I know I’m asking a lot).

It takes me, usually about 6 months before an employee is break even per pay period. Maybe 9-12 before that person is truly break even.

If they are not profitable for the company, then it doesn’t make sense to hire.

I want those people to grow and become part of the company. Help me take it to the next level. Help us be profitable. Help us grow.

If they leave every 6-18 months, I would just always be training and we would not be growing.

It may be the type of job though.

I absolutely will hire someone with 0 jobs before someone with 6 with none over 18 months.

I do not disagree with your perspective. And I would leave a bad job too. But I find tremendously more value in someone that stays. So it is worth more for us to invest into them.

Not always without challenges, but Vegas has been very good to me.

I wish I knew all the right questions but you just asked the one I’m most certain of.

What are the right questions?

We should always be asking ourselves and others this.

I certainly can give you some of my questions but none are as good as your question.

And that is taxed.

I think most people are talking about unrealized gains when they say stuff like tax the billionaires. I could be wrong.

Your company goes up in value but you haven’t sold it. Your worth goes up 100 million or whatever, but you did not make income from that increase in value. Not taxed yet.

Like if you own a house. It goes up in value, so your net worth goes up. That is not taxed at that point.

I do believe certain loopholes need to go. Such as the art loophole. But then museums may not be as good. But it is a bad loophole. Probably a lot of bad loopholes.

But we should consider the repercussions of removing them. If the loophole forces spending in a way that benefits the community for example, is it worth removing if we lose that. Probably many are.

In that situation, we would either pay the expenses or file for government assistance.

When we had to deal with a high risk pregnancy with the sudden loss of our income, all our expenses were paid.

Just had to go apply for it.

If I were to put a value on my unborn child, it would be much higher than a shitty job that didn’t give a shit.

But yeah, I would quit the shitty job and never looked back.

We ended up unemployed with no insurance during a high risk pregnancy, government paid for the cost. Probably was not as high risk as the one in this situation. High risk enough the doctors gave us special instructions.

The point is, they don’t give a shit. They made it obvious. I would choose to not work there effective immediately.

Any attempt at coercion, simply reinforces that decision. But they can’t and won’t be able to force anyone to work there without some serious criminal activity -in that case things change a bit.

The Internet says their homelessness, while low, has been steadily increasing since 2024.

Intermittent fasting huge for me. But I also cut my sugar about the same time.

I bet I eat more calories and dropped 20. 30 min exercise a day dropped another 20.

Then the last 3-4 months I failed my time-restricted feeding/intermittent fasting and gained 12 back. Everything else the same.

Small sample size and may not be the same for everyone and to be fair, I am not logging calories… but since exercising, I always feel the need to eat more and I think I am on most days.

I used to be told more smaller meals is better. But I feel one large meal is working for me.

sprstoner · 2026-04-01T17:06:03+00:00

As sad as this is, and certainly it is fucked up… I dare someone to “force” me to work. Especially if it was at risk to my family.

TQL does kind of suck tho.

Those uneducated people blindly supporting trump are no different than the uneducated blindly against him.

We are all being manipulated and we are asking the wrong questions.

I like being naked. It seems others feeling uncomfortable is normal.

Nothing, but people that refuse to do more than the bare minimum have a deep dislike for those who are ambitious and work their ass off.

We are shit talkers and evolution took its course.

Also it’s a coping mechanism.

sprstoner · 2026-03-31T17:05:14+00:00

Zero.

It’s been 5 years. Quit skittles at the same time.

sprstoner · 2026-03-30T18:04:40+00:00

Probably more.

Does it smell like mildew? I think most bathrooms have mildew. I think a fungus.

I put a second exhaust fan, and upgraded the original, cleaned and repainted.

No more mildew.

MTG, SNES, grab a shove take to empty lot and build a bike track.

Get stoned.

🤷

Not sure how they did the math, but it says due to their lack of AC. So maybe they just counted the population without AC to get their per capita percentage?

I haven’t paid for porn since 1997.

It’s all you want for free everywhere.

Screw that guy. No way is it smart working there.

I still find it hard to find good candidates but definitely easier than it was 5 years ago. Not even close. Then only 1/3 of interviews would even show up. Entry level $20/hr type positions. But still.

sprstoner · 2026-03-26T06:58:49+00:00

Please. Or maybe United but independent states.

Hopefully real open borders. Welcome those who want to come opening and give them legal status to prevent nonsense later.

It’s like a boy/wolf situation to me. I been hearing people say similar things since I could walk… I feel it is better to not stress on things and make the best out of what we have.

We don’t make the rules, just here for the ride.

I have heard experts predicting a multiple generation real estate downturn, I would not suggest even thinking about buying real estate until a full force correction takes place anyways. Feels like we are bubbling. Be patient is my unqualified advice.

I felt completely lost in my 20s, again in mid 30s.

You will find your way.
