Yup. It’s the same fucked-up psychology corps use for their customers. Like running ads for super discounts for new customers. Existing customers that have never missed a payment? Fuck-em. Instead of giving 1% “thank you” for good customers, corps would rather lose the good customers and pay a premium to find new ones.
I’ve never been promoted in a job and the biggest pay increase I’ve ever gotten was 10%. Switching jobs never failed to get me at least 30% more and a promotion.
I’m admittedly not familiar with the data, but I have the impression that this is true with quite a few fields, tech or otherwise.
I think they prey upon loss aversion.
They work in tech, promotions are achieved by moving employers. Internal mobility is always terrible in tech companies.
