My father spent his entire career working in the US Steel mills (when he wasn’t in the Army Reserves). I’m sure I get a lot of my work ethic from him and in the back of my mind, when I’m working for a company, I feel that I should stay. That I shouldn’t be looking for some other place to work. Though, reflecting on all my past jobs over these last several days, the one time that I looked for another job while still employed (when I was with Hasbro) was probably very smart on my part. That over the next five to six years, after I left, Hasbro went on a company acquiring spree. Thus leading to many rounds of layoffs.

I only wish I had that same desire to look for another job, when I was working at many of the other companies I was with after I left Hasbro. I may have been able to avoid all those other layoffs.
