    Having a long career at a single company (that tended to treat you well).

      I’d argue it’s not not respected, but it is considered foolish.

      This coming from someone who’s been at one company for almost 7 years trying to get a new job.

        I work at a company that pays for all of the education it would take for me to run my own insurance brokerage, I’d be foolish not to stay. They also have pretty low turn over, there are dozens of people who have been there for 15-40 years.

        It really depends on the situation. It’s not foolish to be content in a good situation.

        Hiring manager here. It depends on the company doing the hiring. If they have a culture of hanging on to people by treating them well, you tend to look for people who like to stick around when considering candidates. I know it’s not as common these days, but these companies do exist. It’s not uncommon to run into people at my company who have been around for 15 or even 20+ years

    Bank managers used to be very well paid and respected on par with doctors and lawyers and now are just clerks

      clerics

      Unsure if intended? You probably meant clerks

      But then again clerics also works since they probably do worship capitalism as if it were a religion

    Rudy Giuliani - from taker down of the mob, via America’s mayor, to talking nonsense outside a sex shop, to… whatever he is now…

    Quite a fall.

        It used to be respected science, but now it isn’t anymore because of how it was used to try and eradicate people of racial minorities as well as people who were considered mentally ill.

        Eventually though people realized that it’s not great and actually quite dystopian to allow for people to be murdered for being mentally ill (some places actually did kill people) or trying to prevent people from reproducing. Hence why it is no longer respected in most countries and for good reason, it is fucking evil.

      Was Reddit really ever well respected? From what I’ve seen even before the current drama it was recognized as “the neck beard platform” or something along those lines.
