Nah, it takes a few months at most.

> Now, in a recession, there is more of a scarcity mindset on the side of the workers as you are showing.

Nope, just saying that employees respond to how they expect to be treated.

Also, you avoided most of my main points.




Someone job hopping every 12 months in a low-interest-rate climate isn’t doing it because they’re being “mistreated” by their current employer, over and over again. They’re exploiting a high demand job market to leverage their current position and get higher pay as an incentive to leave. This happened a lot in the Trump years when the economy was happy.

With regard to contracts, it’s a fair point. But what other white collar work has those?
