Career Development Is a Toxic Idea

The gist of the article is that flighty millennial job hoppers are bad employees and that companies won’t invest in those employees “career growth” if they don’t think there will be a ROI.

What I think is missing from the article is that these “job hoppers” lack of loyalty is often a learned response. Employers did this to themselves by showing employees a total lack of loyalty. Millennials only need to get burned once in their career by some company that “needed to reduce headcount to boost our earnings prior to the IPO” to understand that their loyalty will be exploited, not rewarded.
