PPMDs - You can’t tell me that the workforce has changed and I have to adapt to the new generation, and still treat me like it’s pre covid. Getting tired of this double standard and you will start losing capable SMs with options if you don’t get yourself up to date on how to treat people.

How do you feel about leaving a company shortly after joining?

I've been told by people to not be loyal to companies & I've seen posts in forums where people have talked about leaving workplace 1, at workplace 2 for like 3 weeks, and already interviewing for workplace 3 (and the recruiter for workplace 3 doesn't even know that the person has left workplace 1). That feels a little disingenuous and...bad etiquette maybe? What do you think?
