Job hopping

It you offer a decent wage, paid on time and treat me like a member of a team, why should I hop from your job? I think hard accts is one of the lesser reasons people leave a job. If they were paid a decent wage to do the harder dictators, you would find the MTs who would do them. If you are less than honest with your MTs, pay low and/or late, then yes, people will not stay. More for those reasons than how hard an acct is.

I've been *job hopping* a little bit
lately, although I've been with a company for ten years on a part-time basis. My company doesn't offer health benefits, and I'm newly divorced and need them.
The only reason I've been *job hopping* (which I hate and agree it doesn't look good) is because of the lies I've been told by the recruiters upon hiring. There seems to be an epidemic of broken promises and the job not even being close to what I was told I was being hired to do. If I had just been given the courtesy of the truth, I wouldn't have accepted the job to begin with.
It's obvious that some of these recruiters need lessons in integrity and honesty or, at the very least (as evidenced in this thread), a HAPPY MEAL!
Thank you. :). After doing some job hopping for the last few years,

4 companies in 15 years is not job hopping. sm
Two companies sold to MQ, one closed when the owners retired and I still work at the fourth one. I see people who have worked at 10 companies in as many months. Sometimes the reasons are valid, ie nonpayment, no work, but most of the time it is just because they do not give any commitment.
You need to learn to SPELL! LOL Again ... HOPPING has 2 p's in it, dear! LOL nm

It doesnt make sense to just keep job hopping
The reality is changing jobs doesn't necessarily create a better situation. There are new insurance deductibles to be met, learning curve and lost wages due to that, and then once you get settled in, the company may go a completely different direction. These companies are rapidly making changes as technology advances. Just because a company is currently paying 70% for VR doesn't mean that is what they will be doing tomorrow. Changing jobs is often a pain in the rear. I'm not jumping around anymore. I'm tired of it. It is stressful, and I have come to realize when you change jobs, you are just shifting problems around. My last job, I could not tolerate the crazy QA audits that demoralized and were a constant source of stress, mandatory OT, and just being nitpicked to death over senseless stuff. At least at TT I am not stressed in that way. I'll give them some time to figure things out. I don't think paying people half for VR is the answer, at least not in the system I work on (I have heard it is better on the other platform they use). I think they will come to realize this. They may have newbies lining up at the door to do VR for half pay, but that will bite them in the butt if that happens because the quality will drop. I have many, many years experience. I should be paid for my brain and paid well if they want their reports to reflect any kind of quality. I think TT will find balance eventually ... at least I am hoping. For now I am staying put.
