There isn't a rising tide to provide as many alternative options

He then proceeds to explain how it really paid off for him to stick with one company for 10 years and millenials should be more patient.

This is the thing that older people are unaware of though: Currently, if you don't switch jobs, you won't get a raise. I don't mean you won't get a raise that keeps pace with inflation. I mean, literally, your salary will not move. They'll say, oh you're due for a raise, and a title bump, let's discuss it in 6 months. And they mean it to some extent. But it's just never a good time. And it's never worth cutting comp of management or equity. They will work you under this paradigm as long as you're willing to do it. When you finally get fed up and quit, they hire a new person at your starting salary and begin again.

So this whole narrative of millenials are so entitled, they don't have the patience to work their way to the top of GE like I did, they always want something more. No, it's that when you were sitting in middle management with an annual 8% COL adjustment and stock options, you weren't sacrifing anything. I'll gladly be a cog for 200k per year and the automatic promotions/raises that they had. That's not going to happen though. If I just "keep my head down and work hard," I'll die 65 years later still making $6/hour at Popeye's.
