Theres so many reasons for this. There's the "grass is always greener" concept that hiring from outside is better than promoting from within because the company feels like they're "winning" and "stealing talent". Not to mention the idea of paying someone more to do the job they're already doing (because they've probably already taken over the responsibilities of the promotion they want) isn't palatable
There's the fact that for a million reasons workplaces have become much more impersonal
You used to have to dial a phone or show up in person to express interest in a job. Now applicants by the thousands are available to cherry pick from digitally
The people running most of these companies didn't start them, they've probably been there less than 10 years, they aren't personally invested in the worker the way someone who turned a small business into a megacorp over a 40 year career was
The largest businesses grow by becoming more efficient, which means trying to do the same things they already do while paying less salary
Truthfully businessses have been this way for a long time, its gen x and younger that recognized loyalty isn't worth shit, your employer is counting on you to be too complacent to leave, and the culture of job hopping every few years has only really taken hold en masse in the last 15 years

Well here is one that might help. The only difference between now and when you were ignorant of it was your own blissful ignorance.
Not to say I condone or necessarily believe the NSA is a lesser evil. But I made peace with the reality of things a long time ago.
What's truly alarming is the pure lack of real reaction from the public when the horrible things that happen behind the scenes get brought to light

Well there are literally hundreds of millions of people to actually spy on, and I doubt an agency like the NSA even cares about your run of the mill illegal activity either.
But no. You haven't had right to privacy since 2001

Yeah there's a lot going in here in terms of his closet bisexuality and motivations.
Doesn't change that he cheated and that being unfaithful should always end a relationship
