What would make some one over stay in a company for over 10years.

Means you have not develop over the years or you are scared of what's outside your comfort zone. If you stay so long in a company, the know your weakness and strength, you are not doing any extraordinary except for normal routine the know.

I don't fancy that idea of over staying, I want to explored new ideas and new work environment.


Y’all making it sound as if life is easy!!! No one is ever satisfied but sometimes you have to be contented with what you have. If new opportunities come you dive in!

You shouldn't think that way. If you are that good with the job why would you be scared?
Just saying though..

I start looking for opportunities the moment I get settled down in a fresh job. It has been working for me. This is my sixth job before I landed a permanent federal government job, still I'm not satisfied.
No one is ever satisfied...

You need to understand and appreciate that some people are simpletons. They don’t try to complicate their lives or exert too much energy chasing new things. By nature, some are content simply receiving a salary and living in low cost housing.

Why do employees stay? 
The brief answer is “inertia.”
Employees tend to remain with a company until some force causes them to leave.
The concept here is very like the concept of inertia in the physical sciences: a body will remain as it is until acted on by a force.
You gerrit?

You just said it all...

Like seriously?

There is nothing like Job security, you could die and your job will be given to someone else.

I will rather take a contract Job of 1m monthly pay that can be terminated anytime than a regular job of 100k


that's wisdom right there...

Many are not employable. Once they leave their current job. Thats all for them or will be so hard to get a new place

So all those people in LNG, Shell, Chevron, NNPC should resign so that people will not know their strength and weaknesses?
You cannot generalize this. If your career growth, personal development, wages, peace of mind and other needs are met it will be better to stay and growth to the peak.

It depends if you are getting promotion as expected, opportunity for growth, salary is ok and you love what you're doing , why would you wanna leave? Or any dissatisfaction? Unless you wanna start ur own company or business. And maybe u see better option with good salary and benefits grin
Re: Over Staying In A Company by Aforxzy(f): 4:16pm On Aug 03, 2022
They both have their pros and cons but it depends on the individual and the type of company you are working with.

If you are not redundant in a company then stay if you are okay with the policy, career growth and salary.

If you are the type that gets bored working at the same company for long period , then move on to the next . Most employers love to employ such cos you have vast exposure and experience which might be beneficial to them but the disadvantage is that your next employer will be sceptical about investing in you cos you might leave, the moment you get a better offer while the one who stays put will be limited in exposure and development.

So do what works well for you and pays your bill..

Personally, I love to move to new roles, territories and challenges if possible.

The reason is that they stay mainly for reasons related to their jobs themselves and community ties,
the difficulty of finding another job, family responsibilities, and company loyalty exert relatively less influence on them.
Hahahaha Manna onye ihoriho! Is that why you decided not to leave BMC 30k job after 7years of fruitless labour? cry

Not in all cases. If you're growing in terms of salary or personal and professional development, why would you want to leave? Plus as one grows older one begins to feel less need to move around.
I personally don't like staying in one job or city for more than 3yrs, but there are many things that can make a person decide to settle down at one company.

There is no growth in terms of salary in your current company that will surpass what others have to offer outside.

The last company I left after 8 months, my net was 560k per month. The current pays me 993k per month. What type of internal upgrade or promotion will make my former company pay me 993k from 560k?

Recently a recruiter called me for one of the big soft drink manufacturers and I told them that I wont take anything less than 1,500k net. They were willing to give 1,150k but I said capital NO. This is my 1 year 3 months in my present place.

From the day you entered into a company, you should start planning how to leave them.

I started my career at a software company where I was a youth corp member. My employment was retained after NYSC but I resigned 7 months after to join a much bigger organization for the brand, network, size of project and all. I worked at the big organization for 5 years and 9 months. The only reason I stayed this long was because I was growing. Moved from Software Eng 1 to 2 after 15 months. Then Software eng 2 to 3 after 24 months. I started getting uncomfortable as I didn't believe I was approaching six years in the organization hence I resigned and moved to a software company where I could earn dollars and work on a different type of projects. I have come to realize that people who stay on one job for a very long time are less resilient than the more mobile employees. They find it harder to get another job and transition to something better hence limiting themselves to what their employer offer to them. Employers prefer a candidate who spent 15 years in 3 different organizations as opposed to candidates who spend 15 years in a single role/organization

Change this mindset or else you will die poor.

There's nothing like job security, go for where bread will be best buttered. If you see 1m job, leave that 100k job with imaginary security and grab the 1m job.

Also, consider starting your own company and don't die working for someone else. Them no forbid you to be CEO.
