DoorDash driver was captured on a woman’s Ring camera digging in her pants while delivering her food. The woman says she threw the food away and will not be using food delivery services again.
This is simply not true.
According to Mercer’s 2026 compensation survey, the average promotion comes after three years and with an 8.7% raise. The average job-hop comes at eighteen months and with a 4.8% raise.
Two employees start at $100,000:
> Tim: Stays loyal, earns an 8.7% promotion raise every 3 years.
> Harry: Changes jobs every 18 months, securing a 4.8% raise each time.
After 10 years:
> Tim: $128,437 salary; $1,109,007 earned
> Harry: $132,485 salary; $1,147,651 earned
Harry the job-hopper comes out ahead by every metric.
And that’s assuming Tim actually gets those promotions. He could spend years busting his ass only to be passed over or denied a meaningful raise. Frankly, he’s probably more likely to get laid off because some consultant decided he’s too expensive than he is to receive three consecutive promotions.
Corporate America spent 50 years loudly proclaiming that loyalty is for suckers. Anyone who believes their nonsense propaganda now deserves their fate.
