This mentality is why people don’t get promoted internally, which leads to the job hoping in the first place.

Fix this and a lot of the job hoping problem goes away.

Well yeah, the problem is capitalism. The least you can do is try to tilt the scale in your favor as much as possible. That’s absolutely what capital is doing all the time.

Monetarily, sure. But that's because companies are so hesitant to give raises but love to hire new people.
