When a Reddit user asked, “Is staying loyal to a company actually career suicide in 2025?” the r/jobs community had plenty to say.
Mode Mobile developed a smartphone called EarnPhone, which allows users to earn and save money by playing video games, listening to music and reading the news. With the phone priced at an affordable $99, the barriers to adoption are low.

The End of Loyalty
Hop jobs every two years or ride it out? The overwhelming consensus is that loyalty to a company just isn’t what it used to be. Many commenters argued that loyalty should no longer be part of career decision-making. One user summed it up: “Never do it out of loyalty.”

Several users shared personal stories of staying too long at companies that eventually let them go without hesitation. “I turned down several lateral/better jobs to be loyal to my employer over the 10+ years,” one commenter wrote. “In the end, they rewarded my loyalty and high performance with letting me go.”
Another added, “You stay at a company so long as you are getting either good raises/promotions consistently and/or the benefits/work environment are amazing.”
Hop or Stay? It Depends
The advice wasn’t universally “job hop every two years no matter what.” Many commenters stressed that the right move depends on personal circumstances. If a company offers fair pay, strong benefits, a good team, and work-life balance, staying can make sense — but it should be a conscious, calculated choice instead of an emotional decision.
“I'm comfortable…. not loyal,” one Redditor explained. As long as the employer meets their needs, they’re good.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.
Others echoed the idea that hopping jobs can result in higher pay, much faster than staying put. “I job hopped from $12.50 an hour to 115K a year in five years,” one person said.
However, some warned about hopping too often. “You gotta stay somewhere for at least a year or you’ll look like a red flag,” one user advised.
Economic Reality Check
With a possible recession looming, a few commenters urged caution. “Honestly, I felt lucky to get a job in 2025,” one said. “Switching during economic uncertainty feels foolish to me.”
Several users recommended keeping an updated resume and interviewing at least once a year, even if you’re happy. “Nobody is immune to layoffs,” a top commenter reminded. “Having a good resume ready and keeping your interview skills sharp is critical.”
Instead of asking if you should stay loyal, many Redditors suggest treating your job like a business decision. Evaluate whether staying or leaving will better help you meet your personal and financial goals. Loyalty alone, most agree, won’t protect your career or your paycheck in 2025.
As one user put it: “Loyalty will get you nowhere with almost every single company.”
