“Changing jobs every couple of years
used to look bad on a resume. It told
recruiters you can’t hold down a job,
can’t get along with colleagues, or
that you’re simply disloyal and can’t

antiquated. Workers who stay with a
company longer than two years are
said to get paid 50% less.”

“Within any given
organization, institution, or
business, a silo of knowledge
can be a person, a department,
an application, a database, or
a network that only one or a
few people can access.”
