I’ve seen the misery this creates up close and it can be really ugly. Imagine all jobs were on a two year contact where you could always quit but you wouldn’t be allowed to get any other job during that time. The shit employers would get away with just because they knew they could… I’m getting a small taste of that at my company where we’ve laid off thousands and the company knows the open market is really hard right now. The talk has gone from “we want this to be the place you build your career” to “this is your job, take it or leave it.”
