Visited a coworking space in Austin and the manager's advice on job hopping surprised me

I stopped into a coworking space in Austin last Tuesday and the manager told me she hires people who switch jobs every 2 years over loyal stayers, so has anyone else seen recruiters actually favor job hoppers these days?

That manager is just trying to sound smart to look cool. Job hopping tells me someone can't commit when things get hard, and that matters in real work. Loyal employees learn the messy stuff, the unwritten rules, the people who actually get things done. That knowledge takes years, not two, and it's what keeps companies steady when stuff breaks. Recruiters might talk a big game about "fresh energy" but when budgets tighten, they keep the people who know the system inside out. Two years in isn't enough time to even see the real problems, let alone fix them. So no, I haven't seen hiring managers actually pick hoppers over stayers, and if they do, they're building a team of people who will leave them too.

Heard some exec say loyalty is dead, but who's left holding the bag when it counts?
