Boomers hiring managers called me a job hopper for having internships in college.

Boomers are weirdly caught up on job-hopping — when in reality, changing jobs is the only way these days that you can get a better salary. Even if you work at a company for 10 years, they will often hire someone for 40% more than you make doing the same job. Then when you complain that new hires are making far more for the exact same work, they will tell you that 40% raises just “aren’t done.” Then there’s no choice but to leave.

People generally don’t job-hop because they want to; it’s done so they can get what they are worth.

(Internships as in this case are a totally different thing, though, about which Boomers are also apparently dunces.)
