    My mother thinks US workers still get pensions if they stay at a company long enough. She also thinks that staying at one employer for decades is the key to higher pay, better benefits, and promotions. This is a constant, exhaustingly repetitive conversation with her every time I get recruited and poached by a company.

      My boss thinks that the specific job title we hold is the reason we are “at will” employees and makes a big deal of telling new hires that they can be let go for any reason with no notice because if this. This is the case for every job in every US state except Montana, unless a contract says otherwise and I tell her every time.
